Limited size for bookshelf speakers...help??

I'm installing a small home theater system. I have a new 42" panasonic plasma, Denon AVR 2807, and Oppo 971 DVD player. Due to lack of planning, my cabinets were just installed and I have the following dimensions for front right, left speakers: 11" X 8.75" X 8" (H W D). I was considering the full range B&W 600 s3 speakers but they are a little too big. I'm planning on a 5.1 system. I'm wanting to stay under 2k for all the speakers.

Suggestions on good quality speakers that will fit??

Many thanks,
Byron

Go with the NHT Absolute Zero Monitors . They are an acoustic suspension/sealed box design, so they will do well on a shelf in an enclosed cabinet set-up. For a small monitor they do a very credible job with the upper bass.

I have used a version of this monitor for the past 10 years and I find it a very clean and clear sounding speaker.

NHT has recently upgraded its speaker line and the Absolute Zero is the latest incarnation. J&R Music is running a special on the Absolute Zeros. Each monitor is on sale for $130 a piece ($520). NHT also makes a matching center channel and subwoofer.
