1. Separates means a speaker set with a separate tweeter and midbass.
2. Coaxials means that the tweeter and midbass is mounted quite near from one another, if not on top of each other.

2-way, 3-way are classifications of the number of drivers and their responsibility.
For example,a tweeter doing the highs and the midbass doing the mid/bass is a 2-way. A tweeter doing the highs, a midrange doing the mids, and a midbass doing the lows is a 3-way. A tweeter doing the highs, a midrange doing the mids, a midbass doing the lows, and a subwoofer doing even lower than the midbass is a 4-way.
*jhnkvn, is there a big difference in terms of output / sound quality ang coaxials vs separates?
