Whatever you do go for as solid a line as you can get. Planars are nice for that, but not cheap. You can use domes but the frame has to be small and the drivers mounted as tight to each other as possible; a typical 1" dome within a 3 to 4 inch frame won't make it. My experience is that a line is so different from a point source that you can get away with far less driver 'quality'. Go for good response with low power handling and SPL; that keeps the individual units cheap, and using a bunch (at least 20 per box to match your woofer line height)gives the necessary power handling.
