{"product_id":"glodnotea3evo2glossywalnut","title":"Gold Note A3 EVO II Bookshelf Speaker, Walnut High Gloss (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Note A3 EVO II is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker made in Italy that plays noticeably more grown-up in small and medium-sized rooms than its size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this version, the faceted side panels are finished in high-gloss walnut. The mirror-like lacquer catches the light and turns a 35-centimetre-tall cabinet into a piece of furniture you place deliberately rather than hide away. Inside, a 1.1-inch silk dome tweeter and a 6-inch treated-paper mid-woofer work into a bass-reflex volume. Sold and delivered in pairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the A3 EVO II?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause you want high-end sound but don't have room for sprawling towers. Gold Note builds the A3 EVO II in Tuscany and gives it the house signature: silky highs, full-bodied mids and a tight bass from very little volume. The diamond-shaped angled cabinet surfaces aren't a design quirk — they avoid parallel inner walls and the standing waves that come with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoices and acoustic instruments come across tangible and without harshness, the highs resolve finely without becoming tiring. Despite the small cabinet, the A3 EVO II projects a convincing, deeply layered stage into the room. The bass reaches down to 45 Hz — not subwoofer-deep, but dry, fast and musical. With 87 dB efficiency at 6 ohms it's easy to drive; Gold Note states 10 watts as the lower limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the A3 EVO II suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone who wants to listen with nuance in 10 to 25 square metres: jazz, classical, singer-songwriter, good recordings of any kind. Plain talk: if you want to fill an open kitchen-living space at volume or want deep bass that flaps your trouser legs, you're better served by the A6 EVO II or a subwoofer. And an honest note on the high-gloss finish: piano lacquer looks fantastic but shows every fingerprint and reflects windows and lamps. In a bright room with a lot of glass that can look restless — the matte finish is the calmer choice there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small speaker with the sound and build quality of a much larger one. If you value fine resolution over sheer sound pressure, you get a lot of Italian musicality on very little floor space here. Honestly: most living rooms don't need a bigger speaker — they need a better-placed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-way bass-reflex bookshelf speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 45–20,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficiency: 87 dB SPL (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal impedance: 6 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover frequency: 2,000 Hz (12 dB\/octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended amplifier power: from 10 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum power handling: 100 W RMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 1.1-inch silk dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-woofer: 1 × 6-inch, treated paper cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet: diamond-faceted, black body, walnut high-gloss side panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminals: gold-plated, nickel-free binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 24 × 35 × 29.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 20 kg per pair (net), 25 kg packed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: pair, fabric covers, quick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Gold Note A3 EVO II supplied as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the A3 EVO II is sold and delivered in pairs. The manufacturer's figures also refer to a pair each time, such as the 20-kilogram net weight. A single unit, for example as a replacement or for a multichannel setup, can be arranged on request through the distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow large can the room be for the A3 EVO II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt feels most at home in rooms of roughly 10 to 25 square metres. Beyond that it eventually runs out of breath at high volumes, since a 6-inch driver simply has its limits. For larger rooms it's worth looking at the A6 EVO II or adding a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need the matching stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended, yes. Standing free at ear height, the A3 EVO II plays noticeably more openly than wedged between books. Gold Note offers a speaker stand precisely matched to it, made of lacquered MDF and aluminium, which brings the cabinet to 76 centimetres and cleanly decouples it from the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the A3 EVO II need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Note states 10 watts as the minimum and 100 watts RMS as the power-handling limit. With a 6-ohm nominal impedance and 87-decibel efficiency it's good-natured enough for small tube amplifiers, but it also rewards a powerful transistor amp with noticeably more control in the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow easy is the high-gloss finish to look after?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs a bit more attention than a matte one. Piano lacquer shows fingerprints and dust more clearly and reflects light sources in the room. A soft microfibre cloth without abrasives is enough for care. If you move the speakers around often or have children in the house, walnut matte is the more relaxed option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gold Note A3 EVO II from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we carry Gold Note as a specialist dealer and give you honest advice on amplifier, placement and stands — even when the answer is that another model suits your room better.
