2 way vs 3 way question


Hopefully avoiding all the potential puns....and with the possible exception of deep bass, can a well designed and executed 2 way tower sound as good a well designed and executed 3 way tower when it comes to soundstage, detail, tone, etc....and if so, what are some examples?

They sure can. Proac, Spendor, Harbeth, etc. are a few good examples of outstanding two way designs that I am familiar with!
Tomic601.... 

good point on on the cost difference... so no more than 15% more on the 3 way as a reference point. 

Just as an example... look at Salk... they have similarly priced 2 ways and 3 ways... at a given price point, can the 2 ways really equal the 3 ways
