Yes and at least a couple others, Rythmik REL and Miller and Kreisel 8" just to name drop a few more.
For full ranges try on some Audio Note and Snell 8" both closed and open boxes as well as some east coast oldies from Advent and boston Acoustics etc. I believe smaller drivers became more popular due to aesthetics and what the masses like and not as much to do with "better sound" in any way. It has more to do with speaker design and quality of workmanship that goes into the drivers and the cabinets. As with everything opinions vary.

an excellent 8" sub will work fine (Sunfire)
