Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones?

I have a 30 year-old refurbished pair of Allison 3's, placed in the corners of my study. They are fantastic in terms of ease of placement (:):), take up no room, disapppear sonically, soundstage and project well, and are extremely musical. But they don't have the resolution or clarity in the highs and mid-range that the modern speakers do. I am looking for speakers that can be placed against a rear wall, like the Allison One's, for another room, but with the modern improvement in resolution and clarity. Are there any such speakers? Are there any floor-standers that are made to be placed against the rear wall?

"Yes, but that was a long time ago. They haven't answered any e-mails and, I assume, are disbanded. I hope I'm wrong."

I wouldn't give up just yet. Since their website is still up and running, they may still be alive and well. Hopefully their phone service issues may also be related to why they haven't answered your emails. I'd wait it out through the holidays before throwing in the towel.

From the link kindly posted by Davehrab above:

The phone system has been disabled "temporarily" since July ~! I just had an e-mail returned again by the server - so it's likely they are bye-bye.........

Wilson has some monitors designed for wall placement.

I was told by one of Allison's distributors that the company is out of business.
