Hi Sarwan,
Welcome. Wishing you the best in your journey.
The equipment list is impressive.
Only tweak i'd make is to stick to MA Bronze for centre channel, too.

I have a couple of rungs lower MAs and even that centre rocks. Despite being only a two-way, the Bronze centre should do you well.
So, do consider that.

Am, however, worried about the room dimension and the associated things you have said.

1.22*8 is kind of too narrow to get a decent sound stage.
You'll have to treat the 22 wall a lot for good sound, overall.

2. Not even the best subwoofer money can buy can pressurise this kind of space with an open kitchen. You'll have to find a way to manage bass, unless all use cases are near field.

3. The three doors and the three windows will bring problems of their own.

But please dont get disheartened. Maybe if you could share your room diagram, more knowledgeable FMs could pitch in with ideal solutions.

Warm regards
