2 way vs 3 way question


Hopefully avoiding all the potential puns....and with the possible exception of deep bass, can a well designed and executed 2 way tower sound as good a well designed and executed 3 way tower when it comes to soundstage, detail, tone, etc....and if so, what are some examples?

The limiting factor is really the surface area of the woofers.

Yes, and in a lot of situations, a smaller speaker, with a smaller woofer will sound better in a lot of rooms.

What the 3 way really gives you is better dynamic range, but the lower it goes in Hz, the more it will wake up the dragons.

IMHO, a really good compromise is the 2.5 way.

Best,
