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.

Woofers begin to break up in the upper mid range whereas tweeters often have a resonance peak and power handling problems in the lower high frequencies. That said, I heard some JBL 2 ways, a CD and 15" woofer, netherless, they blended  well together and the sound was far superior to the 4 ways I've owned.

 There are no set rules - just guides.
