Pierre,
Sorry I missed the fun. Looks like the DIYAUDIO thread notification is 1 to 2 weeks after posts are made, so I found out late about this.

I would love to hear John's Dayton based speaker, if he got the chance to make them this year. Also love to hear any DIY design with a large waveguide tweeter, if anyone's made one.

Thank you for putting up the schedule for our upcoming get-together, Pierre. And Thanks to John, Mark and Pierre for coming up with the schedule...it looks good to me.
FYI - I'll make contact with Wolfgang to make sure that he is aware of arrangements, and get him to think about what he would like to do, or bring.

I'm not likely bringing anything, since I haven't built anything (audio). However, I can offer to collect the "entrance fee" from participants, if that would help. For those who don't know, or forget, we collect a nominal fee from participants to cover the cost of hall rental.

Well, Mark, I'm certainly wondering that also...I thought there'd be a few more members chipping into the forum with a commitment.

I did mention it to Wolfgang, and I've got 2 sons who have some interest...have to confirm definite availability/travel for these.
However, without going back all through the posts, I'm thinking that we haven't heard from (regulars) Owen or Tyler & some others yet, and that kind of surprises me (except that I expect Owen is very busy trying to keep up with his "Wire" projects on top of regular work & vacation).

Reminder to others - post 121 contains the proposed schedule for Feb 4& 5, and that's coming up soon! Let's get some attendance confirmations in.
