Agree with @yogiboy, @bache, et al. The question is ill-posed. It's not as if you get a better result if you buy a speaker with more drivers in it! There are always compromises, and crossovers are one such compromise that gets multiplied with additional designated drivers. If, as the OP proposes in his question, "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," then Maggies would be out of contention, just for example. So would MBLs, which are two-way only because it's so hard to move lots of air with that magical "Radialstrahler" element. Let your ears be the judge!
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.
