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?

Amoung the most versatile, in terms of placement, and best sounding along the wall or in corners that I've heard is the Gradient Revolution (active), though I bet the passive version would be no slouch.

Audionote speakers also sound very good when placed in corners, but, then again, that is where they are designed to be placed.

Although they are not designed for corners, I've heard Spendor S5 and S8 in small rooms, and placed somewhat close to the corners and they sounded decent as well.
