Drums are dipoles and it may be that the way a dynamic woofer pressurizes the room just isn't realistic. OTOH, there's something to be said for the sheer ability of a large dynamic woofer to play loud. I don't know of any planar that can match it, though the largest can outpunch some smaller dynamics. That said, the Acoustats play louder than most stats and so are a partial exception to the rule (I don't know of any planars that will do the 120 dB+ that's necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of acoustical music).
