Using semiconductor processing technology....It may be possible to 'dope' the material in order to make it resistive enough to use as a ribbon.

Also, it may be possible to make, thru similar doping technology 'Magnepan by the yard'.

Other possibilities will occur as more is known about this material...though from the Wiki, it seems it has been well characterized, already.

Maybe Graphene nano-ribbons is the way to go!

  You could make a ribbon go to 100khz.
  Since this stuff is apparently massively strong, you won't need a huge long driver, either.
  
  It may be possible to head towards the point source end of the size scale.....

    If it's really that strong, how about a single full range driver? No xover. Paul

      Using some of the REALLY strong magnets, you maybe could make such a driver. But, forget the cone shape. Given the strength of the motor this material could support, sensitivity would be off-scale. You wouldn't need more than 3 or 4 watts for a large room.
      
      The possibilities are limitless.
