The 505TT IS a lower mid/bass driver designed to work from 200Hz -1kHz.There is no way the horn he coupled it to will reach so low

Goto drivers have 2 setbacks.1.They are relatively narrow bandwith devices.2.They are very fragile.If this instalation uses a 505 crossing over to a 16 TT he is operating the 505 way out of range and likely crossing over to the tweeter way below the recommended 6k.Both recipes for disaster.Now if he used the 370 driver all of the above objections would vanish.

Goto drivers are magnificent if used correctly with no pissed and vomited upon ex pro rustbucket coming close.What irritates is people hearing incorrectly applied Gotos and then reacting by dismissing them as jokes.

And I imagine your system does indeed sound splendid, using the units in their intended bandwidths and carefully so.

  No,nothing is perfect least of all my system.But I tell you I'll rather use a Goto driver as recommended than blow one from incorrect use.On the few occasions I blew one I got such a reprimand from Goto it felt like Miss Fosters pre primary class all over again! Not nice if you are 45 years old and at the peak of your career to have an irate little Japanese man going at you.My crime was using a highly regarded 300B SET amp on the tweeters.Apparently this thing ultra sonically oscilated thus blowing the tweeters .The Japanese Goto agents went to the trouble of actually sourcing an amp for me that they felt happy with
  
  But it does show you the tremendous pride these people take in their product-Same happened when I cracked the Onyx body of my Koetsu-They fixed it for free but only after a hell of a tongue lashing.
