What type of speaker would sound better?

Which sounds better depends largely on synergy and the room the speakers are being used in.

The idea is to match the amp/pre with the speakers. You might be wasting 245 watts of amplifier on speakers that really would sound good with 25 watts or less. 

I had a 30 watt class A amp that far out performed a 200 watt mono blocks especially the bass.

A good idea to decide your listening position.  I would not think in terms of "filling " the room. You don't want a PA system.  Micro details and dynamics are special if you can get there. 

I've heard some 2 way speakers that sounded better than everything else in the same line from the same manufacturer! Power, room, placement all play a part, but unless you're just looking for loudness usually the 2 way with better components ought to win.

3 way 2 way allways have a midrange hole 
what would sound best is the 3 way of the vintage allison AL130 w/ the unique proprietary and inovative  sealed cabinet dual 8" push pull woofers and the CONVEX cones of the tweeter and midrange  nothing since is as inovative and amazing 50+ years old tech not surpassed 
Roy Allison was amazing ! 

My all allison 11.2 HT  is pure sweetness ! total envelopment ! has taken a bit of time to find all the speakers!  

2 way allways have a midrange hole 

Not the case.  Some speakers with a very large woofer mated to a tweeter that doesn’t play low perhaps, but most 5-8" woofers can mate seamlessly with many tweeters.  Their downside would be tend to be limited of deep bass output, not a midrange hole.
