By far the most promising planar speakers I've heard have been the giant Sound Lab models. These use an assortment of variously-sized "tuned" planes comprising one larger, "curved" plane. However, for whatever reason or reasons, I never heard them get free of their amplification, meaning the sound/qualities of the amps always played a big part in the sound that came from these speakers. Nor did I ever hear them get free in the dynamic sense, but they always seemed dynamically "tied" to the amps, as if holding or being held back. Lastly, like other planars, they lacked the "good granularity"/traction that "propells" music dynamically.
