I don’t own Gold Note speakers, but have heard them on a few occasions, incl: their stand mounts. They sound smooth, quite detailed and well controlled. Build quality is excellent I thought and they look like attractive pieces of furniture. The key word about their sound is "smooth". They have a nice musical flow. If you mostly listen to jazz, blues, acoustic, folk, classical etc they would be a good choice. My overall impression is they punch well above their weight. Check out the new A6 Evo speakers which just debuted at the Hong Kong High End show. I’d bet they’d also rock out - https://www.goldnoteloudspeakers.it/a6-evo/
