Encel Gelati Bookshelf Speaker Review: A Taste of Acoustic Excellence

Encel Gelati Bookshelf Speaker

In this Encel Gelati Bookshelf Speaker review, we'll explore how this Melbourne-designed masterpiece is revolutionising the Australian audio landscape. As an audiophile reviewer at The Audio Tailor, I've had the pleasure of experiencing many speakers, but few combine aesthetic versatility with acoustic excellence quite like the Gelati.

First Impressions and Design

The Gelati immediately catches the eye with its striking cabinet design. Available in four distinct finishes - Birch Black, Vanilla, Caramel Walnut, and Pistachio - these speakers make a bold visual statement. The real party piece, however, is the innovative magnetic grille system, offering 12 different colour options to match any décor.

Technical Excellence

The Gelati boasts impressive specifications that would satisfy even the most discerning audiophile:

  • 5" Kevlar cone bass driver
  • 1" soft dome tweeter
  • Frequency response: 50Hz - 20kHz (±3dB)
  • 86dB sensitivity
  • 8Ω nominal impedance

Sound Quality

The sonic signature of the Gelati is remarkably balanced. The 5" Kevlar bass driver delivers tight, controlled low frequencies, while the soft dome tweeter presents crystal-clear highs without any hint of harshness. The crossover point at 3.0kHz ensures seamless integration between drivers.
