Beginner: need help to finish home theater properly

[MrGoogz]

I am truly a novice. Over the past several months I've purchased the basics for my home theater. I want to finish it but I want to do it properly. I recently purchased a Denon AVR 4200 (Atmos). I have B&W floor speaker fronts, B&W center, 2 pair of B&W bookshelf speakers for surround and a Martin Logan Depth i sub. I purchased a pair of Sonace in ceiling speakers but I have not installed them. I think I may go with a 5.1.4 set up. What speakers are recommended for that setup that match my current B&Ws (I'm open to returning the Sonance speakers). I'll need to buy a 2 channel power amp for the 5.1.4 configuration. What would be a good amp for my set up? Should I bi-wire my speakers (excluding in ceiling speakers)? If so, what speaker wire would you recommend? I've seen Blue Jean mentioned a lot on this site but they don't seem to have 4 conductor in wall speaker wire. I currently have a spool of Audioquest Type II 14 gauge but I will be returning it.

First, welcome. And let me say I'm not an expert. But I'll start the conversation w/ what I think.

1. I don't think you need to worry about "matching" your Atmos speakers. All they're gonna play is rain, passing planes, sounds that really come from overhead.

2. Why consider bi-wiring? Most will tell you there is no real advantage.
