I'm posting these up for sale on behalf of John (Johnsteer) who is a long-term member of this parish- for some reason he's unable to post due to forum software issues. He's able to PM so he'll contact any interested parties that way, or just PM me and I can pass along his email.

Up for sale is a pair of Marshall Choong CM-3, John has owned these from new and they are in first class condition. The only reason he's selling these is to fund the purchase of a pair from further up the range. They are in a cherry veneer, and come with matching stands. Dimensions are 600 x 300 x 350. John is looking for £2000.

I've heard these when I visited John and they are a great sounding speaker.

Hi Anthony

The specs were on his website but have now been taken down. All i know is there efficiency is 86 dB and they require an amp ranging from 100 to 200 output. It all depends i suppose what kind of valves you are using.

There's some measurements here

Hard to predict exactly but looking at the impedance curve I'd expect a quality push-pull valve amp to be working acceptably with these speakers.

I don't see any need for 100 watts minimum, not unless the room is massive or you want very high levels. 86dB is not low sensitivity.

Any offers before these go in the loft because new speakers come today.

I will consider any offers.

I would have loved to have had a demo of these but I recently bought some big Tannoys so I now have 2 pairs of very big speakers in the reception room [emoji51]

That's a pity you could not of heard these Lawrence . I would not know how they compare with Tannoys though.

I am going to keep these because of lack of interest. Pity because they were very good.
