Front Stage Advise

Hello all, brand new to the community and in need of some advise about a front stage from our home’s dedicated home theater.
About me, been out of the component audio game for a long time and after several months of research I feel I have learned a great deal, but all of the information has created more confusion for me. Especially on amps.

I am looking for advise on a front stage that will give the theater room (18’W x 22’L x 10’ H) a great experience. There are nine dedicated theater seats situated in two rows.

I would really like to know your preferences for the speakers and amp/s that would make a great front stage. Right now my budget for this portion of the project is around 10-12k.
Thanks in advance for all recommendations and responses.

Center IS most important for HT.
A perfect center is the Ascend Horizon.
If you want to reduce cost go with a single Ascend Sierra-2. The ribbon can be in either orientation. Done by them or you, 4 screws.
3 Sierra-2’s will get a fine "stage" but you’ll want a big amp as they are 86db speakers.
