Hi
Sorry for such a long delay....was going around the studios and tried out few speakers. Intend to share my finding and learn your feedback.

You wanted to know budget, and budget for speakers shall be 2 Lacs. Balance shall be matched according to that. I will not go beyond 2 Lacs. Room size shall be 18*13 sqft. Source of music is cd, laptop, streaming like tidal, no vinyl. I had been to stores in Chennai, Pune, Mumbai and one in Kolkata.

No biggie! 3 years is not that long Don't be apologetic about being in Kolkata. At present Kolkata is a nice place to be for an audiophile.

Do your self a favor, set up a demo at Watereffect and get a Magnepan that will fill your room with correct tonality at loudness of your choice. Once you have the speakers, build a system around it over a period of time. Gradually adding components.

To begin with any muscle power amp will do. Even a Crown. Other good amps in decent price would be power amps Emotiva, Odyssey. As you graduate, you can move to Bryston, Symphonic Line, Krell, Pass Labs etc.

If you prefer keeping the spend low to begin with, start with a digital source.

Electrostatic speakers aren't so good for our weather. Basic of electrostatic current, good dry weather is required.
I somewhat is open towards good suggestions

Well, then - Focal Aria, Monitor Audio Silver, KEF R series, DALIs Rubicons/Optikons, Q Acoustics, Fyne Audio. Depending on what's available in your part of the woods.

Klipsch are lovely speakers for rock. Well inside your budget too.
