This page lists all 3 MTG speakers ranked on this site across passive speakers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.
Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #24 of 144 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - MTG Designs AlTi DIY: $160 per pair approximate parts cost eBay
Pros: A free DIY two-way design from MTG Designs using a HiVi M5N 5” aluminium woofer and a Dayton DC25T titanium dome tweeter, with drivers and crossover parts costing under $80 per speaker. Measurements show a very even listening window (0.18 deviation), for a preference score of 6.24 that reaches 8.44 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 65.4Hz (-3dB).
Cons: It is a design to build yourself: you buy the drivers and parts and build the cabinet. Bass reaches 65.4Hz (-3dB) and about 42Hz (-10dB). The measurements are from the designer and low quality.

Large Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #84 of 188 in Large Size Bookshelf Speakers - MTG Designs VBS-10.2 DIY: $320 per pair approximate parts cost eBay
Pros: A free DIY high-output design from MTG Designs with a 10” woofer and a compression driver on a constant directivity horn, with parts costing about $160 per speaker. Measurements show a very flat on-axis response (0.13 average deviation), for a preference score of 4.95 that reaches 7.80 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 82.3Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass rolls off at 82.3Hz (-3dB), so it is meant to be used with subwoofers. It is a design to build yourself, and the measurements are from the designer and low quality.

Ranked #134 of 188 in Large Size Bookshelf Speakers - MTG Designs VBS-6.2 DIY: $200 per pair approximate parts cost eBay
Pros: The smaller sibling of the VBS-10.2: a free DIY two-way design from MTG Designs with a 6.5” woofer and a compression driver on a constant directivity horn, built for high output at low cost. Measurements show an even listening window (0.33 deviation), for a preference score that reaches 7.27 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 119.9Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass rolls off early, 119.9Hz (-3dB) and about 75Hz (-10dB), so it needs a subwoofer. The on-axis response is uneven (1.30 average deviation), for a standalone preference score of 3.86. It is a design to build yourself, and the measurements are from the designer and low quality.
