2-way vs. 3-way


What would be the advantage and disadvantage of a 2-way floorstanding speaker versus a 3-way floorstanding speaker?

I have a pair of 4430 and a pair of 4435 JBL studio monitors. The best two way speakers on the planet. They have dynamics, low distortion, bass, and excellent imaging.
Tell me where then on this planet will you find a two way loudspeaker such as the 4430's or the 4435's that will encompass efficiency, low distortion levels, farfield and nearfield imaging, and the superior dynamics of horns versus tweeters. As any educated and knowledgeable person will understand that horns produce ten times the dynamics at massively less distortion levels than tweeters ever could. Another reason being that I can sit five feet or I can sit fifteen feet from the speakers and there seems to be absolutely no diffrence in sound or imaging. I would like someone to show me a smaller audiophile loudspeaker that will keep up, let alone surpass these fine loudspeakers. As far as driver quality, we wont even go there considering most audiophile woofers arent even as large as the JBL's 15 inch woofers voicecoil.
Unfortunately for audiofeil I seem to have infringed upon the items he feels sell the most and I apologize if I have affected your profit margin. As far as Chandnliz, I do not feel as though anyone owes me their unanimous agreement. However it seems as though most of the forum does. In light of Audiofeil's highly intelligent response to my former comment:
