The current equivalent model Selmer is most likely the Arthea as that's Selmer's entry level pro clarinet.
Until the Recital was launched, Selmer only made a succession of similarly graded pro level instruments that were available with all manner of keywork configurations, which include the BT, 55, CT, 9/9* 10, 10G, 10S, 10SII and now the Arthea is the current one in this lineage.
All the various keywork options that were available were dropped with the arrival of the 10SII which only had the option of the LH Ab/Eb key as did all other Selmers after that (or the option to have it removable as on the Signature) - so no more full Boehm, Mazzeo and Marchi systems.
The Recital was their first prestige model that was very different to their main pro clarinets (which at the time were the 10S and 10G), and then they offered the intermediate level (and more affordable) Prologue in the late '90s.
