Gradient Speakers from Finland: Opinions

Gradient speakers from Finland have received a few reviews in Stereophile and and TAS going as far back as 1995. But I have rarely to never heard any talk of them on this website; or, seen any of their speakers up for resale. Anybody out there ever heard these speakers (or own them) especially the models called the "Intro" and "Evidence"?? How do they compare in price and performance to Audio Physic, Thiel, Revel, and Vandersteen?? Or, is this just another mid-fi European company pretending to offer hi-end speakers at exorbitant pricing?? Let's hear it!! Thanks, Jimbo
