Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers?

I always been fascinated by Martin Logan and Magneplanar speakers. I have heard one or two models of both over the years. Would like to get some input from owners of "planar speakers" as what sound quality benefits do they offer over a floorstander, especially in the area of overall smoothness.

Are there any planar models of either company that have a small footprint and are not monolithic in height, but still sound very good???

Back to the original question, I own Maggie 3.6s with one Maggie DWM bass panel.

I thought I was getting bored so I traded an old amp for a pair of Thiel cs 3.6's.

After about a month, the Maggies are back in place - just more alive and room filling than the Thiels.

By the way, the bass panel adds a lot. I am looking for a used second one.
