Now that Pierre has got confirmation (Thanks), I'll get that info posted...s/b able to copy & update & get it posted within 24. Earlier in the thread, we had Mark offering/agreeing to make a presentation & I trust that this is still a go.
Pierre T-T setup(s) will be mentioned.
Any other "scheduled" events to mention? i.e. anyone else willing to speak at the front of the class - probably on Sunday - about something you've learned about while planning your DAC, or your active speakers, or other project? Let me know & I'll mention it... have to get the punters in somehow.
Thanks, Ron

Don't worry about me Pierre, please do what is at your convenience. I may not be able to attend Saturday and its TBD if I'll be able to transport the player due to the fragile sapphire disc (have to see if I still have the shipping carton)
I'll be there Sunday and will bring the updated Napoleons and the modified JR149s. I'm looking forward to hearing your final creation!
Also looking forward to catching up with everyone.

A small fee to cover rental of the room. This is a not-for-profit event. Based on past experience, we anticipate that this year’s fee will be $10 per person (please bring exact change).

Recommendation for comfort:
Footwear that was worn outside should be left at the door to minimize the clean-up. You might want to bring indoor shoes or slippers to wear.

Yes, Mark ... it is a "formal activity", but you can probably wear something like you wore to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - I don't remember what I saw in the photo, but if it's good enough for RMAF, it should be good enough for DIY Ottawa.
And you'll probably notice that since you were ok with either day, and we seemed to have "hands-on" stuff on Saturday, I decided to put your seminar on Sunday's schedule (plus, I think Dave wanted to be there).
But to everyone else - tell Mark what you want him to talk about, or else he might just think we only want to her pipe organ music played loudly!

Hi guys,
I posted the design (and design process) behind the JR149 redesign in case anyone's interested
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/269455-jr149-redesign.html
I sorted them out a bit today and will bring on the Sunday. Don't expect sonic spectaculars but its an interesting look at what can be done upgrading a vintage mini monitor.
Thanks,
Dave

Thank you Dave. I look forward to hearing them.
Thanks very much Pierre! I'm looking forward to hearing your labour-of-love horn creations as well.
I also updated the design spec for the Napoleons with the modified crossover. Nice thing is it only changes two parts and the mod can be made with a 2ohm (or 1 ohm) resistor and 1.68uF cap per speaker.
