KEF Ref 101 used computer matched pairs of B110B and T27, eight ohm impedance, 100 watt power handling and have S-STOP overload protecton (unless the audiophile tweak of disabling it has occured), crossover located in false bottom of a nice heavy well made cabinet. Overall a very nice but inefficient (25-30 watt min, no good for low powered tubes) design that is best compaired to the JR149 speaker, as they both do not have the same bass 'hump' as the BBC design but the treble is less controlled, my pair took about two years to run in. I used a new pair at University with a Quad 33/303/FM3 and an Aiwa ADM800 three head cassette. Have since got another pair and both of the kids are using them with their TEAC mini systems at University at this very moment! Only one problem with them so far the 47 ohm metal oxide resistors in the S-STOP next to the protection relay were starting to corrode - an easy fix. Regards Colin
