New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?

Maggie 1.6 will work in that space. They sound good and are reasonably priced too.

Hey, how about a pair of Sound Lab A-1's?

But seriously, something like VonSchweikert VR1's or Green Mountain Audio Europas might fill the bill nicely. I'm using a pair of Aural Ersatz TAD-803 speakers (single-driver mod) that work pretty well in my small room. But my small room is 12' x 14' so I can't guarantee anything.

It might be a prudent if you could borrow a pair of small speakers from somewhere and set them up in the room just to get an idea of the room acoustics and to see what that environment does to the bass response. Putting some sound absorbing material or panels on the side walls at the point of the first reflection might help. Good luck to you.

Without knowing your budget ... something like the NHT Classic 3 may work out well. They are acoustic suspension/sealed box design and so near rear wall placement is not an issue.

I'd to note a strong disagreement with Albert, the 1.6's it will simply swamp the room in sound and will be most unpleasant. I'm not even sure with extensive room treatments could you absorb the acoustic output that will reflect around the room. Nothing worse than A dipole backed into a corner either. Boom!

Channel seperation if that is important to you will be non existent. I think he might have misread your dimensions.

A super speaker for your application would be the Elac 330.3 JET, ATC SCM10's, Focal SM6, Acoustic Energy AE1 reissues, Someones LS3/5a even if you like that sound.

Small speakers with a DSP EQ'd subwoofer 8" to 10" to give you full range and some bass control in the room. EQ is very important in small rooms.
