Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound?


Planar speakers generate sound pressure via vibrating membrane panels. The excursion of the membrane x radiating area= sound pressure. This would mean that for a given sound level, membranes have smaller excursion in larger planar speakers than in smaller ones. Does this mean that larger speakers will produce more accurate sound?

I am not talking about the obvious benefits of the larger speakers in terms of low frequency production, so let's not get into that.

Like most everything, there is always give and take.  There are so many parameters to consider.  So blanket  statements rarely hold water.  I very much enjoyed Magneplaners in years past and still do.  But I enjoy a non-planer speaker more.  

Folks, my question is less about planar vs dynamic; it is more about large vs small planar.

Large planar speakers are the only ones that can reach low frequencies. Little ones with dynamic bass drivers suffer from lack of cohesion through the audio spectrum. Little ones by them selves simply lack bass.  
 

 

I've owned two pair of planar speakers, Apogee Caliper Signatures back in the 1990s, and Janszen Valentina P8 now. The latter are hybrids.

The Apogees were more impressive in the sense of a larger than life image.

The Janszens are more flat (very flat!) in FR, and the dynamic woofers are extremely well integrated. So I prefer them. They have relatively small electrostatic panels.
