What type of speaker would sound better?


 

1. mid-tier 3 way with multiple lower quality drivers and parts OR

2. High end 2-way with premium crossover parts and speaker drivers. 

Either one could be a stand mount, small tower, or anything in between.

For example you listen to a well recorded symphony in a 15 X 30 living room. You have 250w @ 8ohms. You start on a mid tier 3-way and then on a high end 2-way system, which do you think would sound better?

This video is a good one too - https://youtu.be/JFXmIh4P2dM?feature=shared

Note I have expensive speakers (A Pair of MoFi Sourcepoint 888s and a pair of Genelec 8361As). We seem to forget than anything more than $1000 is expensive luxury purchasing to the average human when it comes to audio

Bruh why was my comment deleted? I didn't say anything denigrating anyone so why? This is the 7th time a comment of mine was deleted because I used something like "ass" "trash" in my comment.

 

Anyway here's the comment again and I won't add the supposed words that apparently triggered someone here to report my comment.

 

"no tier. A well designed with the least compromises for your space is what you should be aiming for. So, doesn’t matter if 3-way or 2-way if it is not designed well it will sound terrible. You can get exotic drivers like Purifi Ushindi Woofers and Scanspeak, SEAS, Bliesma tweeters. With exotic crossover parts. If you use the wrong parameters and modeling, you'd make this sound terrible and there are examples of that @dtapo 

@bjesien lol what? It is not hard to get good bass in a speaker under $15,000. What bass lite speakers have you been listening to? Cos I can list speakers that do 20 to 20kHz under $15,000

@gdaddy1 people confidently peddle falsehood without just checking. A little googling would've saved them from making that comment. But I guess to them expensive means more bass lol
