3 Way speakers vs 2 way speakers

[Diesel57]

I've come to realize what sounds and is appealing to my ears, 3 way speakers to me provides more balanced, not confused at all but would like to know the difference with which is better for music...Thanks to all, just ordered svs primes to go along with my denon 1912 avr 7.1 along with my rs Nova 8b's, will be adding a center soon, what do u think?

Listen to specific 2 or 3 way speakers, the design and execution count for a lot more than whether they're simply a 2 or 3 way speaker. I don't even own a 3 way speaker currently, been a long time since I did. I have several different 2 way designs and a 2.5 way. Then again I use subs so in that sense each 2-way speaker becomes part of a 3 way in the final implementation....

I think the same as you. Whatever speaker sounds best to my ears is preferred. Doesn't matter 2-way or 3-way or bookshelf or tower or dome or ribbon...

To my ears and auditioning speakers of the same model and series, the 3 way speaker will usually sound and perform better than their 2 way unit.

OK, that makes alot of sense and that provides options to one's listening experience, weather it's 2 way or 3 way speakers, you've enlighten me to really embrace the importance of having a subwoofer...Thanks

Thanks Dan, when I have company, folks always complement the quality of the sound of the speakers, it's refreshing to hear that but what's more important to me is that I appreciate that they are enjoying themselves and their're comfortable.

With that being said, what ever sounds good to the individual or individuals is the deciding factor...Thanks Herbu...
