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.

You say in general panels are as flat as cones.

F'rinstance Martin Logan CLXs are +-3dB from 56 to 23000 Hz.  How much flatter would you like?

They sure sound good as well.  I have used panels for around 40 years now.  I don't miss the last octave, yes and octave from 55Hz to 27.5Hz, although bottom B on a Steinway Model D (the lowest note in music) is 30.87Hz.  For those that do, get subwoofers.
