Vintage KEF Reference Series Model 101 Bookshelf Speakers (1979-86)

We recommendpairing these passive speakers with the Vincent SV-200 Stereo Hybrid Amplifier.

Model 101 combined the T27 tweeter with the SP1057 version of the B110 in a 6.7 litre closed box. The system was fully overload protected by the S-Stop system, included mechanical decoupling of the bass driver to minimize colouration and each pair were acoustically matched to within 0.5dB. The result was a system with accurate tonal balance and detailed stereo imaging – being suitable for use with the best electronics – and able to fit unobtrusively into the listening room.Specification: Model 101
