It appears I am doing a force fit of my needs. Thinking to go by the standard 7.1 setup. Can i get suggestions for avr, speakers , subwoofer altogether within 1 lakh? projector, screen setup would cost me 70K.
For one lakh you can get a decent 5.1 set up. Avr you should look at older models which are now being sold with excellent discounts. Hifimart was selling marantz 5013 for 59k. This will leave you with just 40k for speakers and sub.There are some 5.0 speaker deals in hifimart as well from taga and pioneer for 30-33K. If you extend your budget by little you can get some decent subs like the Bic f12 which should be available at 32K.so for 1.2L you can get a good 5.1 set up. If you want to restrict your budget within 1L then avr’s like Denon 1500 or the 2500 should be available with good discounts as well. Complete a good 5.1 rather then a comprised 7.1 set up. Recently I had a demo of a budget 5.0 brand called eltax. I had a rough demo but they sounded really good for its price. Check out the link below.It appears I am doing a force fit of my needs.

If you get marantz 5013 later you can add a power amplifier but not with Denon 1500 or the 2500 as they don’t have pre-outs. And also if you are going to get the budget speakers they really don’t need a power amplifier and the marantz 5013 is more then enough to drive themWill we need both AVR and Amplifier ?
So speaker setup + sub woofer + AVR + projector + screen - does this complete the home theater setup? Do we need an amplifier?If you get marantz 5013 later you can add a power amplifier but not with Denon 1500 or the 2500 as they don’t have pre-outs. And also if you are going to get the budget speakers they really don’t need a power amplifier and the marantz 5013 is more then enough to drive them
An avr will be able to power all the speakers. Adding a power amplifier increases the performance. You can set up a 5.1 or a 7.1 without a power amplifier. I have given you some suggestions in my previous comment for a 5.1 set up for 1.2L. Do check those options and see if it is suitable for youSo speaker setup + sub woofer + AVR + projector + screen - does this complete the home theater setup? Do we need an amplifier?
@Love4sound - if i were to go with 7.1 setup - uncomprised- can you please suggest the models? i would not go beyond 2L for all the components including projector and screen.
I have no words to thank you and Love4sound on making me realize and get the best things in my budget. I will keep you posted on final outcome.I was going through the thread & as i understand you don't want to clutter your space with floor-standing speakers & would like to maintain the aesthetic of the living space too. I would like to suggest you following with the budget of 1 lakh & i believe it will be one time setup for long run provided you'r not looking for frequent upgrades.

Happy to help. Just take your time and do some research. Lot of fm’s do have their HT set up in the living room and some have even shared their pictures. Just see those set up and you will easily get an idea.I have no words to thank you and Love4sound on making me realize and get the best things in my budget. I will keep you posted on final outcome.

Never experienced Wharfedale DX2 in person, however looking at the config its almost similar to ELAC Cinema 5, the only difference is subwoofer on ELAC is ported & on Wharfedale its sealed.Wonderful detailing. I am too having the same requirement as the original poster.
Do you recommend Wharfedale DX2 as well?
Soundbars are ok for simple solution . But Going with full 5.1 ,experience will be better , But You need to increase a budget little more.ok. thanks for enlightening me. So now along with Projector, Projector screen , sound bar what else would be needed. i will drop the idea of ceiling speakers altogether. Sound bar is single component or multiple components /items?
Do we still need subwoofer and sound bar?
Please guide on placement of the sound bar
Never experienced Wharfedale DX2 in person, however looking at the config its almost similar to ELAC Cinema 5, the only difference is subwoofer on ELAC is ported & on Wharfedale its sealed.
Now the question is does it really perform well with sealed subwoofer for movie experience? bcoz normally sealed subwoofer are preferable for better music setup. Open for other FM to comment
Which one has better sound quality? Elac Cinema 5 or TL1600?
I have zeroed in on X1400H, want good 5.1 to go with it (Atmos upgrade reserved for later stage)
Also why no one is talking about Onkyo S5915, At 80k for an Atmos setup, it seems to be a steal. Isnt the performance not good asin this forum i have hardly seen anyone talking about Onkyos.
Recently FM @balagamer bought Denon X2600H + Elac Cinema 5 - He should be able to give you first hand experience. Try PM him, i'm sure he will be more than happy to share his experience.
Switching from soundbar to av receiver
Hi all, I'm a happy user of Samsung Q90R soundbar 7.1.4 (have used LG sl10y too befire) very much impressed with the sound with the Samsung. Planning to upgrade the above setup to a dedicated av receiver setup as I want a better atmos effect . Yamaha Rx v585 , elac home cinema 5 or Polk tl...www.hifivision.com
I did audition these in the past don't remember the exact model, however i was not at all impressed with the Atmos capability of these top firing speakers. IMHO positioning actual height channels / speakers will give you more immersive ATMOS experience. Some how these top firing / beam speaker setup on front speakers, i feel is more of marketing gimmick
how about the general sound quality of the Onkyo wrt music/movies when compared with Elac/TL1600?
