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.

All of these are floorstanders with double woofers, resulting in total surface area approximating a 9-10" woofer.  If you're content with their bass output, just go with the one whose sound you prefer.

If you're likely to get a sub or two, you might find a standmount a more attractive fit.  This gives you a more versatile arrangement, at the cost of potentially adding significant setup complication.
