Please don't get entry level Dolby Atmos AVRs. They usually come in a 5.1.2 config, which really only works well in small-medium rooms even with 6" drivers in-ceiling speakers. Not to mention these entry-level AVRs has pretty subpar amp sections to begin with, connecting so many speakers is simply crippling your audio performance unless you like to listen at -30db under reference, 3 feet away from your LCRs.
You want to do Atmos, do it properly. Aim for 5.2.4 if 7.2.4 isn't possible. If you can't do either, stick to good ol' 7.2 setup which is extremely immersive if done right.
And please, if you do Atmos, don't buy into those ceiling reflecting speakers bullshit.
As for wireless or wired speakers, I personally will always go wired. Wireless speakers are powered by their puny batteries, of which needs to be designed to "last longer", so the amount of voltage + wattage it supplies to the driver(s)/tweeter will be very limited hence even if the speaker's capability is decent, it can't do justice. Not only that, wireless speakers will mean that if in the event of the battery going dead, you have no choice but to send it back to the manufacturer for replacement. Go wired, plan out your room, look where to run and conceal cables.
Thanks again Ben. I'll definitely will heed your wise advise. I don't plan to do wall mount as for the tv. I have bought a 6 feet tv cabinet in advance. This time instead of going for satellite speakers, I think I'll go for bookshelf speakers. You want to do Atmos, do it properly. Aim for 5.2.4 if 7.2.4 isn't possible.
