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.

Mozartfan,  I would like to know what Mozart tracks you are using as your critical listening criteria or any tracks for that matter.  Just wondering how you are arriving at this enlightened conclusion.  

This sounds to me to me like "No I couldn't buy/drive that car because it's too fast."  

As for me, I believe that building a system with lots of headroom is the way to go.  Hence, my tri-amped ARC powered monsters. Don't need to run wide open, but I do come close on occasion!
