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?

Actually, a high end 2-way would be better depending on transducer specs.  A good wide range speaker that can produce good lows and mids along with high end high frequency driver would sound fantastic.  Less losses in crossovers for 2-way vs 3-way.

With symphonic music and your room size a two-way stand mount speaker will struggle to deliver appropriate scale and dynamics unless a higher efficiency larger speaker like a DeVore Fidelity or Audio Note. 

I suggest you state your budget and ask for recommendations.

Grey Goose is French. What do the French know about vodka? Vodka is serious business, you can't leave it to the French! I won't buy Grey Goose. I won't buy Polish champagne either. 

Belvedere is my go-to. Who owns Belvedere you ask? A French conglomerate. Oh well.

High-end 2 ways, probably, just so you can add a good sub later. But the premise of this thread is spurious. Driver number and quality are just data points. A talented designer works wonders with SB or even Dayton drivers.
