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'd agree with Shadorne in general.

There are some 2 ways that work particularly well for far field listening as well though. Ohm Walsh and planars like Maggies are two that come to mind. Many other better made 2-ways may also still sound very good far-field as well.

Three ways seldom do well with imaging accuracy listening near field though. One way where it exists and is done well is good also.
