2-ways and 3-ways


Advantages and disadvantages lie in both speaker designs. But lately there have been great advances in electronic parts(capacitors resistors and other crossovers parts) that would lead me to believe that there may be more pros vs cons to go with a 3-way speaker.
Is this true?
With the better materials used in cones and transducers and crossover parts is either 2-way or 3-way looking better than the other?

Just from a simplistic less is more standpoint..2-way on paper has an advantage because its one less crossover in the sensitive hearing range(mid-band)...that being said...there are very good 3-way or more speakers out there...all in the execution...Vandersteen 2 sig comes to mind...at any rate...if you dont plan on a sub...a 3-way becomes more appealing...
