Not really. The quality of the individual driver determines how good it is a reproducing the sound information sent to it regardless of driver size. That is determined by linearity, damping blah blah blah...
Reproducing low notes is about displacement. Displacement is determined by the area of the driver and the length of throw. An 8" driver just dosn't have the displacement to reproduce really low notes.
There are some really good long throw drivers out there now that can reproduce sound accurately and have the displacement to reach absurdly low.
