2)avr receiver-1)Marantz 7008 2)denon x4000 3)NAD 777
3)projector- Epson 8200/8100 2)Panasonic E8000 3)benq w7000

6 lacks is a very good budget
Before the discussion starts can you also post your listening preferences. Is this an exclusive movie HT or a combination of music and movies? If music then genre - bass - warm , bright etc.

At a 6 lac budget the defects of the room also become important. You mentioned a living room cum HT room. Please post some photographs of the room.

If I had that kind of a budget, I would spend as under

Projector : 125k
Subwoofer: 100k
Speakers : 225k
Pre/ Power : 125k
Screen : 20k
Cables: 20k
Carpet: 10k

Also, I suggest you to go for components instead of an AVR.
And why don't you consider the MK S-150 speakers that is on sale (ranjeetrain)?
It will beat the crap out of all speakers you have mentioned here (IMO ofcourse).
I think he has a SVS PB13 ultra sub too.

+1 to this.
The M&K 150 is a revered speaker all over the world. If i were to do this, i'd probably get the M&K without second thoughts

I second the break-up.

Yes, it's true. I do have MK S-150 speakers, which have long been used by the Hollywood studios where movies mixes are made.

Again true, I do have the SVS subwoofer. Unfortunately, I had to move them to India due to uncertainty over availability of space and again, it's lying unused in India due to lack of space. They are even listed for sale in the "Sale by owner" section.

I would consider an amphion helium series setup
In the speaker dept if you can push the speaker budget a bit

Also a setup around the 716 focals would be good

Both the 716 focals and the amphion heliums are one my my favorite budget floors today for stereo

A marantz avr
Decently powered would do well here

I second the MK setup. They are serious stuff ! If you getting them used & good condition at a good price, go for them blind !!
