I am not sure about the two big boxes, but I am reasonably sure
that Hammond was hung up on pipe organ sound and
saw the Leslie as beating his time. He would have been better
off coming out with a pipe organ. It is the only way to get the
pipe organ sound. The B-3 sound is so unique with a Leslie that
it is an instrument in its own right. It has no peer other than
its "brothers and sisters" and stands alone in the world of
music. I hear one at least two or three times a day providing
the background to a TV or radio commercial. That is not an
intended slur...it its a complment. Nothing but a B-3 sounds
like a B-3. Hammond did not know enough to realize he had arrived.

I'd guess also that in the early days Hammond saw there main
market as large
halls, where remote siting of the speakers and the console
would have been
necessary. Also acoustically it would have been better to place the
speakers in an enclosure designed to do just one job rather than share a
cabinet with the rest of the works. When home organs became
popular more
compact designs were introduced. In many homes it was probably
going to be
a lot easier to get one large wooden box accepted than two,
even if it meant
compromising the sound. "Husband dearest, if you think you're
going to put
those two great big boxes in my lounge.....................!"

I can see the marketing logic in making it so that only Hammond speakers
could be used, could this be the real reason for Laurens' dislike of the
Leslie?
