One thing that can be said for planar speakers is that they're exotic... like being the only guy on your all-dog block with a ferret or having an African-American girlfriend in Vermont.
This isn't another planar-bashing message. I'm not personally a big fan of them for my own needs - they're too expensive and require much more attention to detail in placement. I understand those that like their clean mids and highs and the unique styling of ribbons/planars/whathaveyou, but for me, I don't want to have to style a room around a set of speakers (well, unless they start making the mortgage payments).
And Saturn, you have to know that coming into a forum full of owners of traditional speakers that you'll be odd-man out, not everyone that doesn't own a pair of M-Ls or Maggies is secretly waiting for the day they can buy a pair. It's like me walking into a room full of Canadian Alliance members and saying "so... how about that health care?"
