Need advices on LSIM setup

Hey,
Recently bought the LSIM 707 pair and the 706c + a pair of 703.
Also bought Sony STRDN1080 7.2 Channel Atmos Network AV Receiver. Will it be enough? I've read that we need an external amp to power up those speakers. Is that absolutely needed? Also, would you recommend adding a sub? I live in a condo so I won't really crank that up I just want the most quality possible.
If the receiver above is not good enough, could you recommend one for this setup? Budget is around 1k + 1k for the amp if needed (xpa 3).
Room is 13 w x 18 h x 18 l (open living room) and looking to play music + ps4
Thank you so much!

No it's not too late at all. Would Onkyo TX-RZ820 7.2 Channel Network AV Receiver be a better choice? If not, which one would you recommend in the 1-1.5k budget?

Cool! But it looks like this specific one is not really available here. I can get the AVR-X4500H, is it the same thing? Or the AVRX3500H? Both are the same price here.
You have purchased Polk's top of the line speaker set, you would do much better to up your game with your receiver or even switch to a prepro.
Most around here prefer Marantz, or Denon receivers. Look for ones that have everything the Sony has, and then make sure it has preouts to add a separate amp. Your Sony does not have these.
Something along these lines will help get you there.

Shop around for the best price.
That’s the newest version. The 4xxx is a little bit more robust version compared to the 3xxx series.

I don't mind used! And I have no idea what those things are.
Would the XPA-3 be a good add?
