Looking for a new amp


Need help, new 7 ch amp. Driving 4 high,  2 surround and center.  I started to look and so far found wyred4sound mc7150, emotiva eda-7  and emotiva a-7. Trying to keep low budget under 2k. Room is 14x24x8. How many watts do I really need?  Totem 8in  ceiling speakers  and Martin Logan cinerama center.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Thanks  for the info. I was really trying to keep it low cost. Still need my 2 subs and room treatment.  7700 is out of budget and at that cost it opens the door to so much more. This will not handle my fronts, I have that covered.  So I'm left with monoprice or the 7000. The ceiling speakers are totem ic82, which I went a bit overboard but I couldn't pass on the price. And I wanted to match my fronts. I was also considering class d for the 7 channel if I could meet my budget. I dont know much about class d and when I did extensive research on the wyred4sound class d I found out it that model was designed in 2013, which I believe class d was not that great back then.  Reviews are all over the place on class d. I've been told the 7000 would plenty with all channels driven 130 watts. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the help @auxinput. Monoprice does look great hate the weight at 93 lbs.
Anthem mrx720, bat vk200 and totem winds.  I looked at nord, but when I ran up the bill it was more like 2200 usd.  I did more looking into monolith,  it is balanced.  And from everything I found, it's made by ATI.  I have not looked into the used market.  Not sure if I will do used. Thanks for the info,  do appreciate all advice. 
Ooooo, I copied the amount with symbol and pasted in Google,  that's where I got the figure from.   Didn't see conversion on the bottom.  I have been leaning towards the monolith 7x, 1600.00 also found a 125.00 coupon for it. Making it more intriguing.

I got the same number as u, 1674 but I think it's the sterling pound. Pretty sure because built in UK, so if it is the pound it would be 2182 usd. I really dont like the cheap looking speaker connections on the monolith.  Probably need to call monoprice on balanced/ differential.  I did look at the 7700, but it was built 2007 and I think 1600.00 is a bit pricy for the age.  Especially when back then it sold for maybe 2k. So I'm back to new amp.
