Sorry for the ignorance but what exactly is the difference between the ribbon speakers and plannar?

Seems like I have seen ribbon tweeters and ribbon midrange on the Maggies so I start to get confused. Do the Plannar and Ribbons sound similar?

Seems like a smaller plannar can cover a wider bandwidth, no?

Well a planar speaker is mostly called that way because it has a flat transducer.
It has nothing to do with if it has a ribbon tweeter or not.

Most of the time magnetostatic speakers are referred to as planars and electrostatic speakers are not. Even though they are flat.

Here is a pleating tool that is totally FREE! get a USPS Priority mail box like the 12 1/16 X 2 11/16 X 13 7/16 size. Cut off pieces carefully of the size needed for ribbon length. Wet them until the brown side comes off easily. After drying, ready to use. These make about 7 total pleats per inch, 14 angles.
