It seems I know how to surround myself well. With Michel Vanden Broeck, we’ve reached the pinnacle in amps and preamps, and now with Michael Wright (virtual) and Jocelyn Jeanson, another summit in speakers. My dreams are coming true, and I can share them with so much pleasure.
JOCELYN JEANSON Restorations and re-engineering
Like Michael Wright, Jocelyn built his first speaker at 15. Since then, the list of his achievements would make any audiophile jealous. He gave up dynamic speakers 20 years ago to devote himself to Acoustat electrostatics. He repairs, restores, and reconfigures extraordinary panels. Some weigh more than 1000 kg per pair.

A true craftsman-researcher, he patiently assembles and calibrates each Hommage. What a magnificent collaboration.
MICHEL VANDEN BROECK Tenor Audio
Michel Vanden Broeck, the brilliant designer of Tenor Audio, took advantage of a Covid hiatus to lend me a hand. Thanks to his phenomenal knowledge, he enables us to discover the true potential of Dayton Wright cells.
JEAN-FRANÇOIS MICHAUD Modulum Audio
The anti-vibration platforms from Modulum Audio are all the rage. They are found in every Nagra audio show. His methods of controlling parasitic vibrations adapted to the Hommage yield surprising results.
PATRICE GUILLEMIN Industrial Designer
For Patrice, simplifying a form as much as possible is the only way to achieve timeless beauty. Evident in the Tenor products and now in the Hommage, his perfectionism had impressed me in a previous personal project: Levélo
