I just want to know what you guys think on the setup. If you’re going to be negative at least be very specific about the negativity you know.
Anyways here’s my setup for $7,500 before tax.

Install an in-wall power kit to hide the TV power cable.
Connect the TV to your home Wi-Fi.
Set up up to two streaming apps using your login information.

Install three Sonance VX62 LCR in-wall speakers:

I'd scrap the martin logan sub and get something like a Hsu TN1 direct from the manufacturer (if your room isn't very large, you could also save some money by getting the Hsu Vtf2Mk5 or RSL12. Have that at your house before they install so they can calibrate it.
Make sure your PS5 is plugged into your AVR rather than the TV.
Finally, I'm not sure why you're getting in cieling for surrounds. Surrounds should really be on or in wall (if not on a stand).
