Small monitor- made in the states

I'm looking for a small speaker to go on a shelf- I expect to add a sub and drive it with something like the new Virtue Audio tripath or something similar.
I need a speaker less than 12" tall and something that will work not on a stand (for now) and would love something made by a person not in a large factory in Asia.

Second ACI as a great speaker for the money but as stated you will have to buy them used.

I would go for a small Dynaudio.

Check out Fritz speakers. Most definitely a person, although I think he likes Chinese food, if that matters.

BTW, I didn't think of him because you said "on a shelf" which wouldn't necessarily consider to be optimal so this may be moot, but then you're talking about a sub. You don't mention a budget either. If you really want to kick some very serious high-end butt with a monitor/sat system made in the USA, definitely do not miss Duke Lejune's line of Audiokineses speakers. His Planetarium system is amazing! I would definitely put it on my short list if Duke tells you it can work in a bookshelf. Not exactly small, but let me tell you, that system is taking names! Aside from the Planetarium system, I've only ever heard his much larger speaker, which is also VERY impressive but larger than you'll want. Highly recommended with no reservations.
