2-way design vs. 3-way design means ?


Just curious as to the sound difference between two-way and three-way, obviously a missing element on the two-way of the mid range. I own a three-way Cornwall and I’m thinking of going to one of these heavier and more substantial, build, quality, thicker walled bookshelf speakers.

I guess every speaker sounds different to every different human ear that listens …and it may be difficult to explain in terms of the sound. Obviously, a two-way speaker only has two drivers and possibly different interior components?

Like… what is the difference between a Fritz and a JBL century L 100?

I thought it had to do with crossover design. ie  The crossover is cut into three sections and therefore you can feed the three individualized signals to as many drivers you want. This is a three-way I guess

To say how many drivers a speaker has doesn’t necessarily mean whether it’s a two-way three-way or four-way.
