A friend of mine was buying some loudspeakers and dragged me
along with him.  We listened to a pair of Spendor LS3-5A
that he didn't like but I like a lot except for a bit of low 
mid-range boom.  Since these BBC spec speakers have been around
since I was a little kid (20+ years ago),  there must be many
many versions from various manufacturers.  I hope to be able to 
find a version that doesn't this annoying boom.

Who else makes these little monitors?  (I assume one or
more of the British manufactures like KEF, Celestion,
Wharfedale, Goodman, Richard Allen, ..etc must still make them).
Can someone point me to sources preferably in the bay area?

Thanks,

PS. Almost anything will give a giant improvement over my Ohm L's
    converted from three to two ways, with Radio Shack tweeters :-)
