Recently, I had the opportunity to hook up my 300B SET stereo amp (with ELROG tubes) to these speakers. This tube is a bit low on power compared to most other 300Bs (5W compared to 9W), but the sound through these speakers was very lively and truthful throughout the frequency range it delivers (although a bit forward).

It's been quite a hit in the UK. See the reviews on the link.

Anyone else had experience with these speakers?

Sounds like a fun speaker and a departure from the stereotypical British "polite" sound. Not what one would consider "accurate" sounding according to the reviews and a bit on the low sensitivity side at 86 dB.

My favorite line from Alan Sircom's review in Hi-Fi+: "You know it's going to be a good evening with the Red 100; there may be tears, some red wine will be spilled, and someone's probably going to wake up dazed, confused, and pregnant."

Love to hear them. How do they differ from your TL-D1's?

  It worked very well in a 300B SET amp that only puts out about 5W (with ELROG tubes).
  
  Did you read all the reviews? It is certainly anti-polite.
  
  I am thinking about trading in my venerable pair of LS3/As for these, as the ELROG tubes don't have enough power for them. Normal, 9W 300Bs are no problem.
