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 = separate driver (or set of drivers) for treble, mid, and bass.
2.5 way = separate driver for treble, another driver that handles mid and bass, and separate driver for bass.

The simple differences are the 3-way separates the frequencies into separate drivers. and the 2.5 way gives you two drivers to deliver the bass.
