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.

Larger speakers play louder, but the Magnepan LRS is really a remarkable speaker and its accuracy is quite high, in my opinion. I am a musician (guitar, mandolin, uke) and regularly play five time per month with a group. My experience is with 3 models of Maggies, and a friend has some Martin Logans. I have built may and use open baffle speakers in my big system. Large doesn't necessarily mean more accurate.
