here's the thing...you are investing in speakers that should last a life time. don't go cheap on the gear. the receiver is so critical to your HT dreams.
it's been said, ditch the idea about ceiling speakers for ATMOS. get the real ATMOS speakers and use those 2 ceiling speakers for some Zone 2 stuff. (or depending on timing, i may buy them off of you).
for HT....i'm talking movie watching only....not some closet 2 channel guy....this advice is just for the person who only wants to watch, hear, and feel the movie....
you have 2 routes.....
1. get a really good AVR. Onkyo seems to be the top of most lists for just HT viewing. their price point is typically a touch lower, but have as many or more features. you also can't go wrong with Pioneer Elites and some of the other high end receivers. so basic advice, stick to an AVR that is their Flag ship. then, you also want to buy an Amp. really, any name brand amp will do. used is a great way to save some cash, as long as it has the required watts. EVERYBODY on this forum knows Klipsch are very efficient, so don't get crazy with the amp and get your head all twisted and think you need 400w per channel.
most of the good AVR's right now have ATMOS and 2 sub outputs, so you don't have to wait for that technology to drop. what you need to check for is if they have the new HDMI requirement (HDMI 2.0 - with full HDCP 2.2 support).
2. Separates. Emotiva. you will want an XMC-1 with either the XPA Gen 3 or A700 + another amp. that's the silly part about ATMOS. you will only find 7ch amps (right now) so you need at least 2 of them. also, the XMC is not ATMOS or HDMI ready (yet). it will be a few months before the first one is released. the top of the line with ATMOS and DTX will be $3K, add in $1900 for 7ch XPA, and $400 for 2 ch amp....that could put a very serious dent in your HT budget. it's the most expensive route, but you will have the best set up you can get.
i'm not just suggesting Emotiva, even though i love their gear, other companies like Outlaw (to name 1) have or will have something similar.
if you want most bang for your buck...find an older Flagship AVR that has ATMOS, 7.2.4, and purchase the A500 ($500), have the AVR power the 4 of the surrounds, the A500 power your LCR and ATMOS speakers. you should be able to find a really good AVR for around $500. that's a $1k investment, the amp will never "go bad". you can use it in the future for "upgrades" (you know you will do it), and the AVR can live out it's life in a second Zone room.
Thank you for taking the time to help Sir.

Biggest problem I see is that Atmos and other zones don't really play together all that well. Having your mains plus Atmos plus two other zones isn't doable with a typical current receiver as far as I know, but I couldn't even get a Marantz SR-7009 working with Atmos plus a zone outside even though the config made it look like this is possible. In a month or a little more Denon will have new units coming out which can do full 7.1.4 with no external amplification, those may be a little more flexible with stuff like this, I'd wait until then to be honest. Worst case you wait 1-2 months and you get 2 extra amp channels for about the same price as comparable current units.
Thank You Sir.
Sir, I am thinking of skipping the Zoning Part, What AV Receiver you think will be good for My Media Room in 7.1.4 Config With Above mentioned Klipsch Speakers ?

Hi teaman, I am a newbie to this, Please make some suggestions for me
What equipment do you have and what are you looking for? I know myself I am not about to cut holes all over my ceilings for Atmos and after hearing some Atmos tower top speakers I don't care for them either. If you have a plan for seven speaker set up the Sherbourn AVR is an amazing receiver. Let me know what you need help with.
