what differentiates in 2/12 way and 3 way speaker ?


I have heard 21/2 way speakers that's sounding better than a 3 way speakers.  How the crossover is working differently ?  Is it easier for an integrated amp to power a 21/2 way ?  Is the sound is more linear than a 3 way speaker ?  How an integrated amp can get 1000 of Damping Factor ?  Is a greater Damping Facor is giving a better sound to a 92 dB speaker ?

3 way has a woofer mid woofer and tweeter, 3 way crossover.

Yes mostly, but it is a 3 way crossover design driving at least 3 drivers. It could have any number of drivers and still be a 3 way loudspeaker. A one-half way loudspeaker is when there are two (or more) drivers that operate in the same frequency range at some portions of the band but are cut off at different frequencies. It's a fine point though because it would still have a 3 way crossover.
