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?

The idea is to match the amp/pre with the speakers. You might be wasting 245 watts of amplifier on speakers that really would sound good with 25 watts or less. 

I had a 30 watt class A amp that far out performed a 200 watt mono blocks especially the bass.

A good idea to decide your listening position.  I would not think in terms of "filling " the room. You don't want a PA system.  Micro details and dynamics are special if you can get there.
