2 way or 3 way Speaker?

I have a pair of Snell Type 2's bought in '86. They have
an 8" woofer and 1" tweeter. They sound good but technology
marches on and I wonder if a 3 way speaker might sound
better. I guess I've always been confused how the woofer
can produce bass and midrange. Thank you for the input

Not neccesarily. Three way speakers have a lot more potential problems due to the greater complexity of the crossover.

Most of the problems found in a speaker are due to design flaws or compromises in the crossover.
