#24 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.
How it compares: Just above it: SunAudio Purified 4 4XA25A tw35mm - $2640 more. Just below it: Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i - $339 more.
