    Why not do a craigslist search for more 10s? I find them usually running around $100 with the stands in good condition.

    As for the Monitor 5 or 7's, they should blend quite well with the 10s as they are using similar parts and will probably work just fine. You want to try to keep the timber the same across all speakers. Good Luck!
