Upgrading Older Equipment...is this overkill?

[2channel lover]

Newbie here. Like several other people I'm updating an older system. Would like some advice if possible.

Info...room is a loft space with a large cased opening to a hallway on the left side and and 3' wide cased opening to a bath on the left side. Size is 17x12x9' ceiling...primary seating is about 14' from the LCR speakers and 15' from the wall mounted TV. i.e. not a typical 4 wall room with a door.

The plan....a 7.2.2 atmos system used about 50/50 for music/movies.

Electronics...Pre pro....Marantz AV7702MKii (purchased)

.................LCR amps...3 Outlaw Audio 2200 mono blocks (purchased)

.................Surround/rear/atmos amp...Outlaw Audio 7140 (not purchased)

I haven't bought this amp yet and have started to think I could get similar results for movies with a lessor amp for the surrounds...the Emotiva A-700 is about half the price?

Is the 7140 overkill for that application?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Imho you should re-focus your attention on speakers/subs not electronics.
But Outlaw Audio 7140 is great amp and probably be just fine for most speakers, but without knowing speakers specific I won't guarantee it.

Yes, the speakers are all being updated as well. I started with the electronics largely because I have speakers now. They are the only things that I've kept from the old system.

My thoughts on speakers...I've heard the Revel F206 and F208...because I expect to have 2 subs eventually...I'm thinking the F206/C205 combo across the front. The S16 as the rears and keep my current B&W 804 matrix and move those to the surround position. I know they might not timbre match. If I can sell them I'll get the M106
