Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound?

Planar speakers generate sound pressure via vibrating membrane panels. The excursion of the membrane x radiating area= sound pressure. This would mean that for a given sound level, membranes have smaller excursion in larger planar speakers than in smaller ones. Does this mean that larger speakers will produce more accurate sound?

I am not talking about the obvious benefits of the larger speakers in terms of low frequency production, so let's not get into that.

Much has to do with design the larger the diaphragm. The better the bass 

Soundlabs is the best  although big with their excellent autoformers 

their panel has different size segments for high frequencies,mids and bass 

you truly need at least the bid model $15 k +  to get the speed and realism of a true full range stat.  I have owned Everything out there pretty much .

Apogee ribbons with sub bass in the mini grands was the fastest dynamic  panel I ever had , for a true Electrostst  The Big  sound labs are great if you have the room

they are not as power hungry as I thought they are excellent , the. MBL Omni directional speakers are the only ones I prefer more and don’t need as much space., even their 126 monitors with good subs Giant killer setup !!
