In Ceiling speakers for a high-rise apartment

My budget is $7K this would include 2-channel amp, pre-amp, speakers.
I am now looking at FS speakers for the front.

Thanks

Confused. You said 2 channel amp but earlier you mentioned home theater. So do you want a multichannel amp or a multichannel plus 2 channel amp?

My off the cuff suggestion is to go 2.5k front speakers with 2.5k for electronics plus 1k for sub and 1k for surrounds. You can move a few hubs red here and there.

Sorry for the confusion on this. To clear things up:
I listen to music more than I watch TV or movies. I do not need a surround type system. A great stereo system is all that I want. If I can get movies or TV to sound better through the system.. even better. This is why I was thinking of a 2-channel system.. is my thinking correct for this?

Still confused. Are you then not going for any in ceiling speakers?

If that is a yes then spend 4-5k on full range fronts and the rest on electronics. You can get away with a 2 channel Emotiva amp to give your speakers plenty of juice and get a nice 2 channel preamp.

If you are only doing 2 channel then I would suggest a Simaudio Moon integrated and then spend the rest on speakers. That would be an utterly incredible setup with great sound and great amp muscle too. The Simaudio integrateds are phenomenal.

Correct, no ceiling speakers. I decided not to compromise the sound quality.
I had planned to add outdoor speakers to this set up. It is a small patio. Will this set up work for that?

Thanks
