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.

I think you should go for Taga 5.0 system and Danon x1600h AVR for that budget
You can add a sub later if required.

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.

This new Eltax Explorer 5.0 set is a continuation of the brand's creations. With their black ash finish, these 2-way bass-reflex speakers offer a convincing sound. This is enough to pleasantly surprise the listener in view of the price. Their classic design will easily integrate into any...

So 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.

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

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.

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 you

@prateekatasniya can help out from HYD
All the products which I have shared is from HifiMart, just call them & give your preference on the products you have chosen.
I'm very sure they will try their best to give you best price & ship it for free to your location. You just need to take care of the setup & installation on your own/by some vendor who can help you locally. Check with HifiMart if they have any tie-up with any partner in Hyderabad who can help.
HifiMart contact details below.
All the best & let us know once install is completed.
if you need any inputs/suggestions... everyone on this forum is very helpful & we have learned from each others experiences, So stay safe & stay connected.

Wonderful detailing. I am too having the same requirement as the original poster.
Do you recommend Wharfedale DX2 as well?
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
How about
Go with Satellite speakers if you have space constraint?. You can almost hide the speakers behind project screen.
Look into some thing like this below ,
avstore.in
Also look at sonodyne wall hanging speakers
sonodyne.com
As per i heard , they were sounding good .
Pick up 5.1 / 7.1 AVR. look in to Denon /pioneer etc. And get one 8" sub, that will do just fine with satellite speakers.
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.

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.

That is there, dedicated channels will always help but how about the general sound quality of the Onkyo wrt music/movies when compared with Elac/TL1600?
