Recommendation for small footprint Center channel?

Have a friend who has a limited space to put his Center channel in a HT setup.

Anything decent sounding that is about 6" high and 6 1/2" deep.
Width can be long as it will sit on a fireplace mantel.

Thanks.

If your L-R speakers can generate a decent center image, you might be able to get away without one. Most AV processors have a "phantom" center setting. I have to say I am mostly a two channel guy, so my bias might allow me to live without one.

From my experience of actually having a 5.1 system that uses my high end two channel preamp and speakers for L/R-even I want and have a center (RBH 661). It makes a big difference as a dedicated center does most of the work in movies.
