2-ways and 3-ways

Advantages and disadvantages lie in both speaker designs. But lately there have been great advances in electronic parts(capacitors resistors and other crossovers parts) that would lead me to believe that there may be more pros vs cons to go with a 3-way speaker.
Is this true?
With the better materials used in cones and transducers and crossover parts is either 2-way or 3-way looking better than the other?

If the "3" is the bass then 2 way is superior. Why? Bass does not load in a room in the same physical location as the highs and mids.
Well, I agree, even though 2-way usually *isn't* superior!
BTW, you can get the lower mids/bass channel to mate with the rest in the same position -- at the expense of a few frequencies, however (you have to sacrifice something -- otherwise it won't work at all).
