Sorry for not snipping the above but the points mentioned are

Seems like a great idea for playing a clone Leslie Simulator as it
produces a 360 degree stereo image 'with no hotspots presumably'.
Must work ( in reverse ) like the stereo mics that incorporate
front/ side difference capsules. Although 100 watts only, it has
output for below 100hz sub woofer, so a fair amount of volume should
be available.
