Planars actually work well in small rooms even though they are physically large. The dipolar behavior means that side reflections are minimized and if they are tall planars (think Acoustat 1+1, 2+2 or large Spectra models) then there is little to no interaction with the floor and ceiling as they behave like a true line source at relatively close distances.
This means that dispersion in the room is tightly controlled compared to most other speakers and you will have less room interaction and better imaging and soundstage than you would get with any direct radiating speaker...unless you treat the room quite dramatically.
