Anything like an Altec Model 19

I'm smitten by the M19, but can't find one near DC. Is there anything else like an M19 that I should consider, which may be easier to find?

I suspect I will eventually rent a van to drive to M19s, but first I need to find some for sale. Not much out there right now: I think I missed a pair in Boston. I thought maybe A7 instead but they are significantly larger.

It bugs me when manufacturers -- even the small guys, who I tend to prefer dealing with -- give a per single speaker price. Ugh: hate that. I think maybe there's a Yamamoto Sound Craft model -- YS 500 -- that has a big woofer and a horn that might be similar to 19s. But I can't imagine where I could find to audition those, either.
