Josh358 scribed:

"A full height planar would also present problems since there's no way to elevate the acoustical center significantly. Most height cues occur at higher frequencies though so potentially a quasi-ribbon diaphragm could be segmented to give a single speaker height capability."

Do you mean that Planars can't decode height cues? If so I beg to differ - at least my Gunned MMGs can have an instrument coming from the floor and simultaneously another coming from much higher up. I suspect if I lowered my ceiling a bit (it's currently 9 foot high) so the top of the MMG were as close to it as the bottom is to the floor, the height effect would be even better. Chesky's Jazz and Audiophile Test Disk Vol 2 as a nifty test where a shaker is played from floor to 4 feet above the microphone, and my MMGs go from floor to perhaps 2 feet above middle.
