Encel Gelati

Everything about my purchase of the Encel Gelatis has been brilliant - from the amazing, knowledgeable, patient and thorough service to the actual product itself (and the price was super competitive - best I found both online and in real world shops). Only downside is that the Audio Tailor’s premises are filled with far too many tempting goodies!

Perfect for the bedroom

I bought a set of Gelati speakers for my daughter for her birthday, and she is over the moon. The ability to select from a variety of finishes meant we could find ones that would sit well in her bedroom style. The Audio Tailor team was great to deal with and super helpful. After submitting my order I realised that they would be delivered to the house, good chance she would see them and spoiling the surprise. The team were quick to respond to my request to change delivery address. The speakers are well packed and managed to survive the delivery via AustPost, though the outer box was damaged the speakers came through unscathed.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
