Comparison of "2way" and "3way" 

Great comparison between two-way and three-way sound systems! Thank you so much for the detailed demonstration-it really helped to highlight the differences in sound quality. Appreciate your effort in making this so clear to our ears.

This deserves more views. Thank you for this amazingly helpful demonstration!

This video was the deciding factor on my next speaker purchase. 3-way it is. Thanks for the upload!

This is one of the best audio videos I've heard. If you would find the time to do the same test but with two exactly equal speakers for high and mid (mono setup) so that we can hear if there is a difference while the speakers being used for mid and high are the same, but because frequency is separated and each speaker has less temporal definition to adhere to, they sound better. It would be the BEST. See where I'm going with this?

Finally i Found a good comparation beteewn 2-ways and 3-ways. Thank you 👍

What a phenomenally informative video for beginners in the audio world to understand the audio intricacies of Speaker-related configuration of multiple drivers. Would be awesome to see you do something similar in the Crossover domain of 1st, 2nd, 3rd order crossovers and their associated effects (positive/negative) on audio signal in general. :-)

Awesome..thank you for making this..i guess its the only 1 that clearly demonstrates 2 way vs 3 ways diff

I am not certain what this was aiming to demonstrate. If you had two loudspeaker systems (a two-way and a three-way) designed with the same frequency response and, roughly equivalent performance then, switched from one to the other, that would be a comparison of a three way system and a two way system. You could even have two versions of the same speaker with two carefully designed crossovers that allow it to run as a two way Tweeter/bass-midrange or, as a three way Tweeter/midrange/bass. Your sound seemed to vary in bandwidth because you were playing what was left behind by the crossover when you switched off a drive unit. That isn’t a demonstration of a two way speaker vs a three way speaker. I may be missing the point but, I arrived expecting a demonstration of what a dedicated midrange driver brings to music reproduction.

Wow! was looking for something like this to actually hear the difference between a 2-way and 3-way. Trying to listen to different speakers with 2-way and 3-way did not seem to be a good comparison, it introduces a lot of variables. It does gives some validity to what I hear when I use my 2-way speakers compared to 3-way. I don't want to mention the types because then it becomes a conversation about which speakers are better. Thanks for the video!

Easiest way to know the diff between 2way & 3way Thank you for ur hardwork.. Sir

old video but here's my 2-cents, the 2 way sounds just like bose, no low - no high, the best speaker setup/configurations minimum is 3-way to achieve really a full range sound, but still you can go much more than 3-way, but the problem is the crossover design and construction and speaker driver selections, good job in your demo..........

The best comparison ive heard... thank you...

Great upload. Great settings you have in there. Buying 3 way setups for my car

what about 2.5 way vs 3 way? would be much closer

there is a big difference when you have a 3way bass, mid and tweeter with a good crossover there is no comparison it is something magical ...

great video! it clearly demos the 2 way vs 3 way and of course we all knew that 3 way is the way to go ..at least i knew ..thanks again... a truly awesome video

This is eye opening... Very very illustrative ....❤️👌👌 thankyou for this amazing video

True, 3 say speakers just have more information, some 2 way speakers can also have plenty of details though

I don"t know if I agree with this, I have 2ways and they sound much better then yours. I think it honestly comes down to the speakers.

Hi. can you gave me any suggestion.. best for 3way set up full range. sizes of tweeter,mid range, woofer.. room size about 150sq.meter. thanks in advance.

A good real life example is the Swans M300 vs the M300 mkII. Yeah I know I know that the dsp is a bit different on both but its a good example what a good 3 way can do to a good 2 way. This is also why most ultra high end speakers are 3 way or more.

If you are just doing stereo then you either want dual 3-ways or 2-ways with a powered sub (with built-in crossover). How these will sound depends on the amp, speakers, and room. The cost of these two configurations is about the same, and it is wise to audition both. But I agree the safest bet is good 3-ways and a good amp. I also think a system with 3-ways sounds better as you move around the room. There is a lot of high-end audio nonsense on RU-vid that presumes we sit in some sweet spot for 2 hours straight drinking $300 scotch.

now ive'd decided to install highs on my 2 way speaker sound great thanks !

Thank you sir!! Well done!! 3 way is much better experience.

Much respect. I listened while wearing my Bose Q35's and was blown away. 3 way is the way to go.

this video is fucking amazing and truly a hidden gem on the internet! I am 100% a newb, but like other comments, I'm real curious about hearing the difference when adjusting the mid/tweeter crossover ... the fuller sound is incredible though!

Thank you. This is amazing comparison.

Very cool......I do like the 3way but when the mid is brought in it sounds a tiny bit loud, its very clear but may work being attenuated if thats the correct term.... The 2 way is a very rounding easy listening sound.....not harsh at all...

I can tell there's more treble in the 3-way speakers?

Maturnuwun mazeh, tercerahkan perbedaan antara 2 way vs 3 way.

i was looking for this thank you so much :)

perfect video in sound world

So in the 3-way setup you have a tweeter, mid range driver, and sub. Then in the 2-way setup you eliminated the tweeter and used the mid range for high frequencies? If that is the case wouldn't a more accurate comparison configure the 2-way set up to use the tweeter for high frequencies and larger driver for both the sub and mid range frequencies. What is mean is... Aren't the subs better at producing mids than the mids are at producing highs? The demo was interesting and fun to listen to it just doesn't seem this setup was meant to be used in a two way configuration. Getting rid of the tweeters and calling it 2-way isn't really fair to setups that were designed to be used as 2-way.

Thank You so much for such great video

So with the 3way speakers I need to buy the sub for the lows? I thought the 3 way speaker had incorporated the lows mids and highs

This is why I am building a 3 way monitor now!

For me, 3 way speaker is great for music lover

I really like what you are doing, simple no bs videos. Just to be sure, I had problems because of one old video containing copyrighted song. Please use only free to use songs, if you find it possible. Otherwise you risk your channel be deleted.

hi is it posible to combine 2 way speaker and 3 way speakers in 1 amplifier as long the amplifier can carry the watts.?

easy peasy to distinguish. clearly the soundstage is wide open with a 3 way, since it has a tweeter, midrange and woofer, for a full dynamic range, vs a 2 way that is just a tweeter and combined woofer/midrange.

For a long time listening 2 way is good. 3 way is good for short time listening. because the trebles makes us ear uncomfortable when we listen long time.

Yep, best vs video on the internet.

I may be wrong...but 2-way speakers usually have a "tweeter" and "middle-low-freq"-speaker. Where 3 way ones have "tweeter" "middle-freq" -speaker and "low-freq"-spaker. In your video you are using "middle-freq" speaker for "high-freq" and "middle-freq". The sound will be way different, if you use "tweeter" and "middle-low--freq" vs. 3-way. Or do i misunderstand the picture showing the speakers?

superb comparision

For my 2nd HT in the basement I am getting 3 way speakers.

Generally speaking, 2-way speakers sound more live-like and organic, on the other hand, 3-way speakers excel in clarity.

That song is the jam who is that and title?

I am using same units and drivers. I cross at 12khz, I like it sounds more warmth. Et-703 sounds better at 8k and above.

3 way is soo much better in every way, clarity, depth

Very nice video ! The different is huge as i can listen from the video ! 3 way sounds more musical and full frequency range ! The 2 way are very smooth but also feel like some frequencies missing from the song! I love car audio and i can tell that in the car the different from 2 way to 3 way is like day and night !

I can't decide which one i like more lol

I wonder where I can get an amplifier that has the option to set your own crossover frequency and then amplify low, mid and high speakers on separate channels. Does something like that exist?

what is goin on at 1:42 imo it sound the best. I also like 2:17... 2:38 is also good.

❤️❤️❤️

Thank You!

Boss ano po bang pagkakaiba ng 2way sa 3way bakit mas mahal ang 3way sa 2way? hindi ko kasi magets yung video.. Paiba iba ng tunog..?

thank​ ​you​

wonderful

Lovly 🥳

Thank you for your vdo...it help..

the three way sounds like tinsel....too scratchy and thin...

i do enjoy 2 ways but 3 ways are much more fun !LOL

Low freq should be 20hz or 18hz

Thanx.. Godbless

Yo-kai Watch?

the best 3way speaker...

Thanks for post

Bass med woofer and hi is the same as 3 way

great

Very usefull

Good

Awesome bro, well explained

god bless you. now i can argue again with some smartasses-

毎度おつかれです。 ＴＥＡＣ　Ｆ－１手に入れたんですね♪ この機種はほぼ手作りって感じでしかも回路図なども 一般には出回ってないかも知れませんね。 実際に手にすると結構大柄でしょｗ

3 way or 2.1 all the way.

so.. which is for the bass? 2 way or 3 way?

Song name?

2 way

Nice amps.

which you think is better?

Your comparison is flawed, 2 ways don't cut off attached 500 hz

3way: much better

Lol joke
