Default Newbie Needs Your Help

So I am getting back into the world of high-end audio/video. Setting up a room in a home I'm moving into next month. Will double as HT and 2 channel listening room.

Here's what I know I will have: a 5.1 setup. A Sony 75" XBR and an OPPO 205 and Sonus Faber Olympica for 2 channel and front L/R, a SF Center and two in-ceiling speakers (maybe B&W)

My initial thinking was an MX-160 and an MC207.

I am now questioning if this is the right way to go. I'm told by an advisor that the Olympica's could be bi-amped from the 207 using the 2 free channels for 2 channel listening. But I'm thinking that maybe I am wasting $ on the MX160 since I won't be 7 channel +, won't utilize Atmos, etc.

Another thought is to go with an MC452 to drive SF's and an MC303 to drive Center/rears and maybe a Mx151 (and go direct video to TV for 4k) or an MX-122 to give me the 4k.

Any input on what to do?
