Has anyone heard or purchased these? Surprised how little a footprint they have online.

Someone on stereonet Australia has Ukkonen. A few people have heard them. Not sure if many people buy it; the Sointuva is popular though.
Most people buy these March Audio speakers and like them like them it seems. A few have compared to something equivalent. I don't recall anyone trashing the sound quality. Some may prefer wider dispersion.
I recall a couple of people saying the Ukkonen sounds better. Not much extra discussion though.
I regard the use of beryllium in speakers as irresponsible, given the immense health hazards to the workers who fabricate using the metal and the ready availability of suitable alternatives.

Heard them, yes. At the Stereonet hifi show. Purchased them - I don't know anybody local (in Melbourne) who owns them.
They sound similar to the Sointuva's, maybe a little more bass.
Probably iterating and refining the design, and will publish final spin data whenever it's finished.
Absolutely gorgeous. Gotta say it reminds me of my own DIY speaker based closely on the Zaph Audio ZRT design. I regret that I didn't attempt a high gloss finish like the March's.
My drivers are both Scan-Speak per the Zaph design.
They look stunning. I would probably be a Sointuva customer if I decided to buy anything from March, but I would definitely want them in that color.They remind me of the Merlin Music VSM in Ruby Red.
