I agree that it depends on the speakers and other variables such as room size and configuration. I recently replaced 3 way tower speakers with 2 way stand mounts and the 2 way speakers sounds way better to my ears. Improved soundstage, mids, and tighter, more well defined bass. In all fairness, the 2 way speakers cost more than double the 3 way towers (13K vs 5K) and are much better suited to my small listening space. I did not conduct a comparison in a larger room at a greater listening distance.
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.
