Perhaps, but it really comes down to acoustical design of the speaker and materials, and while I think 3 is somewhat ideal at this point, I would say for similar and different reasons.
I agree on the issue of doppler distortion, even though there are some good 2 ways with relative deep bass and high cutoff frequencies.
Smooth dispersion without resonances off-axis is critical in my mind, which also calls for limited bandwidth per speaker, though acoustical methods such as Paradigm uses for dispersion and materials like Magico uses allow good wider bandwidths per speaker than practical in the past.
And even if we talk about a woofer, should it be one big or two small? I lean towards multiple small as it keeps the dispersion closer at the crossover point. I like to have that next crossover out of most of the vocal range if I can.
