It's an interesting approach, but sort of a 'finger in the dike' as it were to actually solving a problem they created....
What Maggie and ALL the other planar mfgrs need to do is get their butt's in gear; and make real center channels that have adequate output, and are large enough to run with big panels. The current offerings from the planar mfgr's are a joke.

Holy crap! Maggie has done it again. :bluezoned:
The new MMG W is a "single driver" 38"x10.5"x.75" panel meant to be wall mounted and they claim it can cover 100-16K with the boundary loading of the wall. It costs - get this - $300/pair. Does it get any better... -
Planar Magnetic Transducers
A planar magnetic transducer, also known as a planar driver, is a type of loudspeaker driver that uses a thin and lightweight diaphragm with an embedded conductive coil to produce sound. It operates based on the principles of magnetic induction. A planar driver consists of the below:- Diaphragm: The diaphragm of a planar magnetic driver is a thin, flat, and often rectangular or circular membrane made from a lightweight material such as mylar or a thin metal
