Help identifying Chartwell speakers

[greenhomeelectronics]

Hi chaps, just got in a pair of very small Chartwell 2 way speakers. they are smaller than LS3/5a's, they are two way units in a sealed enclosure. Anybody got any ideas what model they may be? They sound rather good, they are in a teak finish with the original grilles. I can find tons of info on the 3/5's but not mush else.
Any help much appreciated.
Dave.

Have you got any photos of them Dave?

The pm 55 is a small two way from Chartwell its a bit taller at 35.5cm but it may be a good starting point for another search.

Ask Mike O'Brian (O'Brian HiFi) if he remembers, as he *was* Swisstone Electronics, who took over Chartwell/Rogers.....

I wrote a couple of reviews on Chartwell speakers and have some info somewhere. A pic might help.

Here is a photo of said speakers. They are about 12 inches high, 7 1/2 wide and 6 1/2 deep. Lovely little speakers, they sound incredible on speech and classical. Just wish I knew what they were.... virtual beer to anybody that can advise.

Kef drivers by the look of it B110 & T27, could be some form of LS3/5A?

In fact i bet they are If you google them you'll find that a pair sold on ebay for £3000

I can't expand the image (sonny-jim's downloading summat huge ), but they look suspiciously like LS3/5A's to me - recessed B110 and T27 with mesh cap. If you feel that inclined, carefully remove the baffle on one and check the crossover. If there's loads of components on a board up behind the tweeter, you'll know

Whats that black plaque say on it? the sizes you gave are deffo 'LS3/5a' diamensions. What gave you the impression they wee Chartwells Dave? if they are their should be a great wacking label on the back saying so, if not what colour are the backs? could possibly be Audiomasters (Pink speckled back)!

Ah, I think I see what has gone on. Thanks Reid Malenfant, those are almost exactly what I have. I say almost because the thing with mine is that some nutter has cut holes in the backs to fit replacement banana sockets, the bit they have cut out is where that black label would be. there is a small white label on the back of each unit with Chartwell's address on and a small label on the front that just says "Chartwell". I have taken one of the speaker post mounting plates off, they are definitely LS3/5A on the inside!!
I guess the big question now is whether to sell them as they are or to replace the backs with new ones. Decisions decisions......
