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.
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.........
So, is there another floorstander/monitor that is closed box that can at least be less than 18 inches from the rear wall and designed for close to wall positioning??
Forget any technical limitations - just tell me of any high quality floor-stander that is designed to be close to the rear wall, please!
So there is no confusion, the left speaker could go in a corner or up to 3 feet from the corner and the right against the wall but not in a corner. Don't the Revolution and/or Evidence need 100 WPC of SS power? I have a tube amp, 60 WPC (Jadis DA 88 Signature) that may not drive the passive Revolution, according to the reviews. Size is not an issue, Duke, as they can be as high as they need be and provided they are not hugely wide, not an issue. I will look into the Audio Note. Thanks for the helpful suggestions, all.
Anybody know anything about the Allison AL-130 speakers? There is one on A'gon and one on e-bay. Cant find squat on Google about them and Allison cant be asked as they're long out of business
