A great discussion. I’ve had so many speakers over the years from single element to 4-way in many different rooms including large towers and smaller bookshelves. I agree with the comments that stress design and execution including component and build quality. My old friend that was involved in speaker design and build always said there is no perfect speaker and that there were trade-offs in any design and build. I find a key is the room you are listening in and what sounds good to you at this time. I now listen in a relatively small room so small towers or 2-way bookshelves fill the room better without overpowering the space. In addition my old man ears don’t hear as high in range as I used to so sibilance is key as as such there are speakers I liked when I was younger that I wouldn’t listen to now. Trust your ears and what sounds good to you in your listening room. I haven’t had those 3 speakers but With an 18K budget you’ve got some great choices.
Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design
Seeking to purchase one of the following 3 speakers:
1. Proac K3-2 way design
2. Totem Element Metal V2-2 way design
3. Triangle Cello-3 way design
I am under the impression, (which I may be incorrect) that a three way design is superior to a 2 way design. All of the above speakers listed below retail for about $18,000 per pair. Am I correct to assume that a 3 way design will give the listener a much better chance to hear the full audio spectrum as opposed to a 2 way design?
Thank you.
