[HAM] Should I also get a Leslie 25 for my new M3?

[Bruce Gordon]

To the fellow who has a chance to buy the Leslie 25...
it won't give you the sound that you associate with a
Hammond *and* a Leslie.  But....it's a Leslie speaker
that spins/twirls/ excites the air molecules your ears
pickup and eventually reaches your brain.  The unique
sound ought to be stimulating!  Fun!  Different! 
Don't know what a model 25 costs on the used market. 
I'm still searching for a 145/147 but in case you
didn't know, these are the much sought after tube
amplified speakers.  And they are worth the $$$ for
good reason I would add!
  If the Model 25 is less than a hunnerd, and you can
afford it...do it!  It may whet your appetite for LAS
(Leslie Aquisition Syndrome!)
  BTW....My Leslies are solid state, with upper lower
rotors, and I *really* like 'em.  I know what I'm
missing by not having tubes, but this is mighty close.
 If you wanna shop more, consider solid state models
as well.
