Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design

Seeking to purchase one of the following 3 speakers:

1. Proac K3-2 way design

2. Totem Element Metal V2-2 way design

3. Triangle Cello-3 way design

I am under the impression, (which I may be incorrect) that a three way design is superior to a 2 way design.  All of the above speakers listed below retail for about $18,000 per pair. Am I correct to assume that a 3 way design will give the listener a much better chance to hear the full audio spectrum as opposed to a 2 way design?

Thank you.

Some excellent info here from the people who know and some really dumb info from the people who have no idea what they are talking about.

That being said, none of the speakers you are looking at would be on my short list especially for $18K!  But that is me.  Go listen to the Revival and new PMC speakers for comparison.

We have modified speakers for 25 years for customers.  What I can advise you is that drivers and cross-overs are important.  We placed Accton drivers in an old Infinity Kappa speaker and built external X-overs and that dumb experiment would beat most people's speakers they have heard or own.  GO figure.

We also prefer Field Cold speaker designs for comparison.

Happy Listening.
