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.

Gallo A'Diva se. Their small enough sound pretty good. Strada 2's even better. Of course a sub wouldn't hurt.

The smaller models from DALI: Menuet or Zensor Pico. Amazing sound at a low price.

Fwiw, I recently traded for a pair of Silverline Minuets. Smallest speaker I've owned. I've been delighted with them and they are reviewed positively. The used price is probably 3-400. 

They are rear ported but I have read of them being used in a bookshelf. I use mine in a bedroom system.

Thanks everyone!  I have decided that I will reduce my budget to those speakers that can be had used for < $400. Given the placement constraint and supporting system that budget seems reasonable.

My list now includes:
Audioenjine P4
Dali Zensor 1
Monitor Audio bronze 1
Silverline Minuet 
Paradigm Atom

Hope to expand this list.
