Need Help in choosing 7.1 surround speakers

I purchased a Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver (the price difference to the VSX-9300TX was a little steep for my current budget). Now I'm looking for rear surround speakers for 7.1 mode. I need small, light, inexpensive, high wattage, "hangable" speakers (you know the kind -- holes in the back from which the speakers can be hung on screws, etc.) The speakers probably need to handle about 100 W/Channel peak to be safe. I have listened to the Sony SS-MB150Hs (which sound ok for rear surround speakers, but a little big, heavy and no holes. How about the Rocket OD100s for this purpose? Any other suggestions? Or would I get more "bang for the buck" by bi-amping my Deftech BP2002s?

Here's my current setup:
Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver
Pioneer DV-45A DVD player
JVC Tape Deck
JVC SuperVHS VCR
Sony 42" LCD TV

Deftech BP2002s (Front main)
Deftech C/L/R (center)
Deftech BP2X (rear surrounds in 5.1 mode)

I've set the Pioneer 1015 to 6 ohm mode (as Deftech recommended) and it is a relatively small room (about the size of a speaker demo ("sound") room at a Circuit City Store, if that helps).

Sony SS-SR301 Redux

Why can't I find any information on Google to speak of about these speakers? What is their impedence? Are they bipoles as indicated in what I could find? What is their impedence? How old are they? 2003? 2004? Current model? Were they sold in the US?

Hey, one can't beat the price by much, can one?

I squeak when I walk, as the saying goes. ;-)
