May 2026 - A comment from Tubesound Heaven (TSH), our new European dealer, based in Belgium:

"Nola speakers, my first love! Nola speakers are unique because of their open baffle system. This brand represents the utmost clarity and transparency. Carl is therefore considered one of the "Godfathers" of the hifi/high end world. Mr. Marchisotto was the head engineer of the Dalqhuist speakers in the 70s and 80s, a brand that belongs to the top 5 of the most iconic speakers today. Alon, now Nola, a name that probably rings a bell, is Carl’s first brand where he created the legendary speakers Alon 1, 2 and 4. Even today, he stayed true to these models using components that weren’t even imaginable in those days. The result is finetuning and 3D effects that surpass every imagination. His latest speakers, the Reference Gold speakers, are winning major prizes in the USA. I am very honoured to let you know, that we at THS are the sole distributor of Nola in Europe and feel privileged to be able to present the Gold 5 in our listening room in Hasselt. You can compare Nola to buying a Lamborghini, just to clarify the level of excellence this brand represents. Every single piece of speaker only leaves Carl’s atelier after a thorough inspection and stamp of approval of the Master. I am the proud owner of more than five Nola/Alon models because of my deep love for this brand." -Dimitri Melotte, Tubesound Heaven

December 29, 2025 - Enjoy The Music awarded the Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 a "Best Of CAF 2025 Blue Note Award", stating: "NOLA Speakers downsized from the huge Regency room and delivered the level of sound quality that their hybrid open baffle speaker is famous for, with support from Western Electric amplifiers." See the full review here.

December 1, 2025 - Frank Doris reviewed the Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 at the 2025 Capital Audiofest.

November 24, 2025 - Enjoy The Music reviewed the Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 at the 2025 Capital Audiofest. They said the Nola room was "one of the show's most musically engaging demos", with "an exceptionally accurate and engaging musical presentation," concluding that it was "a deeply memorable listening experience that combined refinement, authority, and emotional immediacy."

November 14th-16th, 2025 - We will be exhibiting at the 2025 Capital Audiofest Show at the Hilton Rockville in Rockville Maryland. At this show we will demonstrate that the Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 does not need a large room to transport the listener to a large venue. This year we are exhibiting in regular room 707 (a standard room about 13 feet by 20 feet) where, for the first time, we will show that they also perform in a normal size room. We will also use a system that allows full justice to the sound they produce. Not to be missed! Hope to see you there!

June 2025 - We will be introducing our new model at T.H.E. New York International Audio Show 2025, Hilton Hasbrouck Heights/Meadowlands, New Jersey, October 24-26, 2025. All invited, see you there.

December 2024 - Copper reviewed the NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 at Capitol Audiofest 2024:

"I confess, I just sat down and listened to cuts like Getz/Gilberto’s “The Girl From Ipanema” and forgot to take notes, except for one word: “superb.” The Baby Grand, featuring four ribbon tweeters and four alnico-magnet midrange drivers in an enclosure-less baffle complemented by dual woofers in separate ported baffles, offered incredibly spacious and dynamic sound with complete ease in a very big room. I felt like I could just walk into the sound and in fact did at one point just for fun, but once seated and listening it was hard to get up to do anything else." - Frank Doris
