It's very interesting!
How large is the resulting stereo image?
Is your technique documented somewhere?
as fons said, it's just panning. at lac 2010, i presented a paper on
using this technique to play back arbitrary discrete multichannel works
on an ambisonic rig, with some listening tests:

executive summary: in the general case, it's very nice. for some signals
and some expectations, it does not work that well.
but fons' preference for the "bastardized stereo" sound over native
reproduction is not shared by most people i talked to, unless you make
the triangle significantly wider than 60°, at which point the "wow!"
effect takes over :)
Can it work with a horizontal hexagon?
With 2rd order AMB?
easily. my own tests were all on 3rd order rigs, but i've done it on a
hexagon at home, and it was ok.
