Need small size speakers for fireplace.

I asked this some ~18 months ago, and now that the fireplace is finished and I am now in a position to consider an upgrade in the speakers I am using to augment my TV/movie viewing, I am back with this question:

What speakers are you aware of that would fit into a space 11.25" by 7” and retail at or under $1500 ?  I would likely buy a used pair. They will be used with a subwoofer, and can be closed box or ported.  I am looking to put together a list and will research suggested pairs online to narrow down pairs to purchase.  Thanks in advance.

Ah, they’re not going in the fireplace? Then I change my answer from ash to pecan since the speakers would be pecan out from compartments at the sides of the fireplace.

Check the Role Audio small monitors, even smaller than the affore mentioned.  Of course bass becomes an option.

geofflait, Yes, I will have speakers pecan out from fireplace sides and pecan wood shedding light on the subject. 

celtic66, I will check out the Role Audio speakers, never heard of that make.  I will be using a subwoofer. 

I was a nut for not making the compartments 1” taller. I would have liked the Spendors.

What about those cute little Pioneer speakers from the guy that just introduced the ELAC speakers at CES? As I recall they’re about a hundred bucks. I know someone who’s got em and he loves em.

If they are for TV/movie sound, I am going to go to a slightly different place.  IMO, sight pretty much trumps sound in that scenario.  I'd suggest saving some big $$ and going w NHT Super zeros (plenty on the used market) or the small Paradigms or something like that.
