I thought some of you single-driver folks might be interested in this.

Hornfest, Leesville, SC, April 29-May2

Ed Schilling is hosting the annual Hornfest at his place outside Columbia, South Carolina April 29 – May 2. No reservations are necessary, just drop by and stay as long as you like. Hornfest is a redneck audio gathering and not a sales event.

The star of the show will again be Jim Dowdy’s (“The Dowdy Llama”) $30k GM70 tube amp, which will light and warm the famed “Pink Room” with an amazing tubey goodness the likes of which must be experienced. With the addition of the big Model 3 speakers and The Truth buffered preamp, the sound should be amazing.

There will be food, drink and friendly people from all over (some folks fly in or drive from several states away). All are invited, no RSVP needed. Kid’s and womenfolk welcome, too!

For background, Ed designed and builds a single driver rear loaded horn speaker and recently built a buffered preamp dubbed, The Truth. Love him or loathe him (or his speakers), Ed puts on a good party.

Stop by if you can!

460 Laura Brodie Rd...Leesville, SC 29070

I wasn't able to make it but am wondering if there are any pictures that anyone is willing to share?

Here's a group photo (unfortunately we'd left by then). And yes, Ed is wearing a pink fuzzy kitty hat with tassels.
