About The Encel Gelati Speakers
Gelati is a compact bookshelf speaker presented in a sharp array of woodgrain finishes with lacquered baffles that offer a strikingly colourful look.
Gelati come in a number of unique flavours like Birch Black, Vanilla, Caramel Walnut, and Pistachio. They're adaptable to the surrounds of your listening space, with 12 delicious magnetic grilles on offer in shades like Eucalyptus Green, Ocean Blue, Lemon Yellow and Coffee Brown. Swapping them out takes seconds, letting you choose and change your speakers' look.
Designed and voiced in Melbourne, Encel Gelati serve a svelte, engaging tone that performs confidently across a range of genres. Whether you're listening on vinyl, CD, or streaming, they promise a totally absorbing musical experience. Gelati are packaged with a minimum of disposable materials and manuals, with instructions and information available online at encel.com.au/gelati.
A defining trait of the Encel brand is artistic collaboration, with Melbourne-based illustrator Alice Oehr designing the Gelati's packaging. And of course, Gelati are manufactured with sturdy, durable materials like MDF and kevlar, meaning their gift of great music will continue for years down the line.
Encel Gelati Review
"Some sixty years after Alex Encel started making speakers commercially, we see a new generation setting a similarly high aesthetic and sonic standard that continues to bear this famous brand name. It may be a local design, but it can easily compete against established international brands. Its difference is in the creative level of customisation, with colour options that doubtlessly appeal to a younger market. The Gelati reminds me that music is about having fun.
Highly recommended, then. This new speaker delivers a colourful, tutti-frutti range of sound that doesn't demand expensive auxiliary components for good results. It represents excellent value for money, punches well above its price and should definitely be high up your audition shortlist." Stereonet
Our Take On The Encel Gelati Speakers
Need a little colour in your life? Can't help feeling that speaker designers are completely lacking in imagination? Do we have the solution for you and its name is as yummy as its sound. The Encel Gelati speakers are compact but don't sound small. They have a lovely open sound that is very inviting with a generous dose of bass down low, especially considering the size. Of course the thing that really stands out is the customisable grille options which make this speaker really special. If you're liking the colour green this month, then Eucalyptus Green grilles are just a click away from being yours. Change your mind to purple next month and you can come back and buy Plum Purple grilles which you can swap over in seconds. How good is that?
