How many times must I answer the same question?
So, that was what I meant originally, when I used the term "planar" as in "describes a plane" and when I wrote this:
Except the speaker the OP is referring to does not appear to be a true ribbon.
I was thinking about a true ribbon midrange, characterized by extremely low impedance, and a conductor alone forming the moving element. Often transformer coupled.
Yes, I completely forgot about the Apogee Acoustics models.

Not at all. I meant "planar" in the generic sense, including ribbon, planar magnetic or even ESLs, in that the radiating surface describes a plane instead of a cone.

I did so because the "this" in the sentence I took to be referring to the speaker the OP is asking about, a loudspeaker with specifically a ribbon midrange, not a generic planar one.
Except the speaker the OP is referring to does not appear to be a true ribbon.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a true ribbon midrange though.
