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.

Douglas what would you buy?  Are you a dealer. I think this discussion makes sense because a lot of us are confused on this subject.

I thought he was basically asking a question rather than trying to tell us what is best.

I think we would like to hear what you have to say.  This is a question many of us have.  This also depends on whether you are using a pair of subs to fill in the lower frequencies.
