[Arnas]

Red paintjob is magnificent! Not to mention top tier drivers.
I imagine its gonna be awesome product in terms of style and performance.

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.

I have the original Sointuva (in Melbourne) and I am super pleased with it, but if/when Alan decides to do an active tower with the new Purifi tweeter, I would buy it as soon as available as that would be my end game speaker for sure.

Measurements still not added! I wonder if the design is being improved while it's being measured. That would explain the delay. I am going to buy a pair if all goes well.

Probably iterating and refining the design, and will publish final spin data whenever it's finished.
