Laurent Labat-Camy |
As I had just met him (through my friend Cuneyt Genc who also accompanied me during my visit) I assumed that he was single. However I was wrong: his wife Ilsu joined us soon after and said that she has no problem with Laurent's hobby, she even enjoys it as much as he does ("this is a bit too much!!!" I thought to myself). Laurent is French and has lived in Istanbul for only the last five years, but he seems to be decided to do so for much longer: he and Ilsu are just married and Ilsu is Turkish. Laurent designs and builds speakers as a hobby (see the bottom picture where he demonstrates his most flexible modular speaker system). He also had us listen to one of his own speaker using Scan Speak drivers. Very successful indeed. Bravo Laurent! Laurent is not yet a member of Istanbul Hi-Fi Club but is willing to join soon. He listens to classical (50%), jazz / blues (40%), pop (10%) music. The CD's he uses for system evaluation purposes are the followings. Perhaps due to his mother who sings in the chorus of "Orchestre des Champs Elysees" he prefers chorus sound.
Laurent's comments about his System: AA: "Laurent, how
would you describe your system's sound?" |
