I can sum up the Gold Note A3 EVO monitors by saying they occupy that rare territory where recording accuracy and musical satisfaction interact. This is generally never an easy task from a designer’s standpoint. However, Gold Note has done it here. For those who have had their interest piqued, but who have large rooms, it would be a very good idea to audition the Gold Note floor-standing models. In our opinion, at around the $5000 mark per pair, the A3 EVO is a superb value.
