Default Atlantic Technologies 5.1 => 7.1 -- what 2 speakers would be good to add on?

I have a 5.1 set of Atlantic Technologies speakers (Model 171) with
which I am very happy. Going to move them from family room to new
basement home theater.

Question: What two ceiling mounted (flush) speakers might I add to the
rear for a 7.1 configuration (getting a new amp) that would (a)
sonically work well with the AT speakers I have, and (b) be
inexpensive?

This room is for movies 99% of the time, and most of the time, those
rear speakers don't get much of a workout. So I am loathe to spend the
$400+ to get the closest Atlantic technology speakers they currently
offer. I'd prefer to spend under $200 for the pair.

Suggestions? PS: I live in Seattle, so would LOVE it if I could go
pick them up this weekend. THANKS to all in advance!
