IMHO, I don't subscribe to that ... Naim speakers for example have both 2-way and 3-way, and all are great.
Room acoustics is a very important factor. Try placing a table radio in a bathroom and see how it sounds compared to the bedroom. Ignore room acoustics at one's own peril ... unless you are driving the speakers active, in which case you can adjust the crossover settings to blend with your room, like those from FM Acoustics or Naim.A friend just invested USD 5000 worth of ASCs to treat his room, and he has not regretted it, and is ordering some more ! Of course, there are other cheaper ways to treat the room, and even just 4 of the Echobuster corner triangles will be a significant improvement against bad bass.
Also, in a room about the size of yours, I have heard the huge Genesis V speakers, and bass is just perfect. Bass that will shake the foundation like a small earthquake literally, but everything totally under control without boom, just wonderful sensations. All made possible by home-made imitation ASC tube traps all around the room ... This also tamed the Genesis V's metallic tweeters ...
Of course, the quality of the electronics upstream play a role too ...
