Hi Fuad and welcome here!!!
WOW man, you are gonna have an awesome system, well done!!!!!
That should sound amazing.
First, some of this will just have to be experimentation on your part, when you get your gear and get it up and running.
There are a few ways you can go, but read Sandy's set up tips and they will get you on your way.
I would set the TOnes to large and set the T 2+s to small but set a 40-80 Hz crossover on them to your subs. And run LFE cables (use splitters if you have to) to the T 2+s and the subs, and set some thing like dual mono subs, whatever it is called on your Marantz.
In the future you may want separate amps for your TOnes in the front to get REALLY high quality sound, but that can be done later when you see what you need, how it sounds. IF it sounds a little light in the front. Do you plan on listening to stereo music too with this set up? IF not, the power in your Marantz may be enough.
Ask all the questions you need to here.
And all the best, you are gonna have a great system.
God Bless,
Wayne

Hi again Fuad,
Yes, the T 2+s are full range and you can set them to large for sure. I just like to use the LFE, so I set them to small and use a low crossover.
Up to you, that is what I am saying about experimentation.
As for the SC XXL, I would do the same, set it to small and set the crossover to 60-80.
As for the ceiling speakers, I do not have them or use them, so I will let someone else answer.
But you are running a LOT of speakers from your Marantz. That is why I am saying, in the future, you may want to add an amp or more. That will make it easier for your Marantz to power the center and sides and rear and ceiling speakers.
Hope this helps,
God Bless,
Wayne

Do you think 7.2.4 is better than 5.2.4 in this setup?

That is a good question fuadkamel. I would start with 7.2.4 based upon what I have read. Others may have a different recommendation.

Second what Wayne said, you will have a terrific system, especially after you get 100 hours on them.

When you have time to kill BEFORE the system arrives; go to the Community in the menu and select "Member Systems" Then start reading and you will find lots of great tips.

I would start with Sandy's tips, read and read and make notes so when you get your system you just refer to your notes. Also start with the factory rubber feet, so you can move them around until you like what you hear and switch to the metal spikes. Pay attention to those crossover frequencies.

If you can, start with 9 ft spacing between the T-Ones, measured from inside corner to inside corner. Toe those baby in so they face your ideal sitting position. And get them off the back wall at least 15 to 18". Start with that sub woofer adjusted to 12 o'clock. DO NOT set above the 12 o'clock position until after break in and you are tweaking. Also, use those 3 feet in the bottom of the XXL center channel to aim that center of the speaker toward your ears, especially if your speaker is way below the HGTV.

I can't help with the X.X.X configuration, I am running either stereo or 5.1 for movies.

And in my opinion, the T-Ones are efficient but I have heard them driven with a 50 watt amp, SS, and a 150 watt and 250 watt amp. You need the headroom that the larger amps offer. Not sure what the power output is for the receiver you bought.

During break in, be sure to use a movie as well for the explosions rather than CD and FM for the burn in.

Finally, there are lots of good tip;s for set up in this form, "Support" - "Support Forum".

Be sure you document your serial numbers as you unpack the boxes for registration.

Del
T-Ones + XXL SuperCenter and 50's for the rears.
