6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer


IMHO I think the 8 is the ideal size cone for mid/small sized listening rooms. Even for large size listening rooms. 
The lower mid hz's seem cleaner/clearer. And  there is so little fq's in 905+ of the music we listen to, it seems to me the 8  driver is the most perfect size cone.
A 10 size cone  has the potential to become overwheling, aggressive, attacking when amp gain is pushed just a  tad too much, = Better  volume  control with a  8 vs a 10. 
The 6.5 misses some of that lower bass which a  8 can voice superior. 
After listening to several YT vids with a  10 FR, I had considered going 10, but i think  staying with a  8 avoids regrets. 
I listen at low/mid volume.

My favorites? None, if not set up well. Several, if set up well.
I am not always in the same opinion than you but this post speak well and better than my own experience about speakers...

Thanks...
My 10" tannoy dual concentric driver sounds good to me with none of the negatives you profess.
I own 2 pairs of them 12 inches with no negative to my ears for 40 years....

Alas! sold....

Too big for my desk....
