A mag-planar speaker is where you have a long magnetic "ribbon" instead of a single-magnet driver. It's basically a cross between a dynamic and electrostatic speaker; it's the principle of an electrostatic speaker but using traditional electromagnetic, rather than electrostatic, force in order to vibrate the driver.
They are supposed to have the response range of electrostatics but the "inertial filtering" of dynamics. I doubt they hold the same near-flat response curve above 200Hz, but I have not heard them.
If you put them up for sale let me know, I might be interested.

Will do. I think I even have the receipt. Have no idea what they'd be worth now but let me know if you have a price in mind. Would save me a trip to eBay; never been there myself.

"A mag-planar speaker is one that studied real hard and made very good grades". Right?
