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 ?

Here is the layman's explanation as I see a 2 1/2 way.  Of course you have your tweeter.  Then you have two identical mid woofers.  One mid woofer reproduces high to lowest mid-range, the second reproduces only the lowest mid-range frequencies. 

But at least in my case, both the mid-woofers are exactly the same speaker models..
