Actually....

In the particular sentence you are referring to, Orpheus was talking about the Audeze LCD-2 headphones and they are indeed "planar magnetic" headphones, typically called "planars". No one in this thread has referred to the K1000's as "planar" headphones but even if someone had done so, the word "planar" can be used to describe ANY flat device "...situated in a flat plane or having a two-dimensional characteristic". Someone might refer to K1000's as "planars" simply because they are basically flat and they would be correct in doing so. There is a difference between "planar" and "planar magnetic", even though most of us are used to referring to planar magnetic speakers as simply "planars". FYI.
