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.

Why the ad hominem attacks on the OP? He's stating an opinion and adding in his personal experiences to support thoughts on the matter. If you wish to refute it, fine but I don't believe there's any reason for name calling. The churlish remarks don't paint one in the finest of ways. And for the record I don't know the OP though I've seen previous posts.
Also, in this case I happen to disagree with him only based on personal experience with a 10" sub. I do agree with several responders that the individual implementation, source material and personal preference would practically dictate which is "best". For my office system the OP recommended 8" woofer suffices nicely whereas the 10" of my full system would be overkill.

In any case, I suggest a bit more civility ladies and gentlemen. There's simply not enough of it in the world IMHO.
Happy listening.
