Short answer: the Dynamo 1600X for output, the Monoprice SSW-10 for an ultra-slim cabinet. The sealed 15-inch Dynamo puts out 900W RMS and 1800W peak for forceful, clean, tight low bass, though its mid-range output is 121.5 dB and it costs $1,606.77. The SSW-10 is a 10-inch ultra-slim sealed design just 7 inches tall with 150W RMS and a 108.2dB average.
Buy the Monoprice SSW-10 new; the MartinLogan Dynamo 1600X is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
