Default Smallish towers for surrounds?

I was considering upgrading my surrounds to some smallish towers. My fronts are Klispch F2's. The smallest and cheapist Klipsch towers are the RF-10's for about $200 each, which is a bit more than I wanted to spend. I see the Monitor 50's can be found for ~ $100 each.

I don't have any kind of decent place to listen to speakers in my area. Anyone familiar enough with these two kinds of speakers able to tell me if they'd be a decent sound match at all? Any other suggestions for some smallish towers to compliment the F2's in the $100-150 each range?

Which of those do you have hooked up now and plan on upgrading?

F2's in the front, C2 center & S1's in the rear. I want to replace the S1's with some smallish towers.

The AV 938's look like a good aesthetic match to what I have already. Have you heard them before?

I don't have direct experience with them, but I have known a few people who owned Fluance speakers and they were very satisfied and thought that they were a good value.

Read User Reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Surrou...5117692&sr=1-1

This quote from CNET:
"If you're on a limited budget and have the room for a full-size speaker set, the Fluance SX-HTB's combination of credible sound quality and solid construction is an amazing value.The SX-HTB system is shipped double boxed, and we must say, Fluance's exceptional packing exceeds that of far more expensive speakers. Clearly, Fluance wants to make sure your speakers arrive safe and sound."

Obviously, you have to understand that your are not getting the sound of high-end speakers. However, for a couple of hundred dollars, you won't be able to do better in tower speakers. Remember that the $269 is a special sale price.
