hello folks,

Thanks for joining in this conversation, really needed your help

Well, we have bought a new house in surat where my father does his business and m here in mumbai to do my graduation in B.B.A.
My house is a 4 BHK 7000 sqft flat , also other than the 4 BHK, it has a Separate AV room connected to my hall which i have thought of making a dedicated home theater room in near future. The flat is fully ready but we will be shifting there during this coming diwali in november.
Here is a pic of how my house is planned

Here, i am mainly planning to setup home theater system in both my hall and the dedicated room. My dad has given me a budget of maxx 30 lakhs INR to setup home theatre systems in these.
My home theater room size is 12*18 feet
My hall is huge and the size is 25*27 feet
Here is a pic of my hall. Sorry didnt have a pic of home theater room but will upload it soon.

So keeping 30 lakhs in mind and doing a lots of research for home theatre systems, i have thought of this

DEVICE AND QUANTITY - PRICE WEIGHTAGE GIVEN

Home automation system and black wallpapers(in av room only) for 5 lakhs
1 TV for hall (55-65 Inches) – 4 lakh
1 speaker system for hall - 2 lakh
2nd speaker system for AV room - 5 lakh
Projector for AV room - 4 lakh
Projector Screen 130 inches diagonally (for Av room) - 2 lakh
2 Bluray players for both Hall and Av room - 1.5 lakh (both included)
1 Amplifier or AV Receiver for Av Room – 2 lakh
2nd Amplifier or Av Receiver for HAll – 1 lakh
Recliners for Av room – 2 lakh
Connecting Cables -- 1 lakh
Bowers and wilkins A7 airplay speaker - 60 Thousand

So this is what i have planned in my mind, suggest me if u have a better idea in mind or if i missed anything from above. Important to note here that i will using my setup 70% for watching movies and 30% for listening to music. Also 3d is not so important to me but good if it comes as an extra feature then its well n good

Also help me in selecting which brands to go for considering the price weightage in mind. Here is what i have thought of till now but still have confusion:

For home automation , its going to be lutron lighting control and shades system might be the radio Ra-2 fully integrated system
For tv, i have thought of getting a samsung es9000 led or a panasonic plasma
For speakers i was thinking of bowers and wilkins Cm9 theater system or 683 theater system for my Av room and magnepan or any other for my Hall
For projector i have thought of Runco LS-5 or the JVC DLA X-70R
Projector screen will be Da-lite or Stewart Filmscreen Studiotec 130-G
Bluray players strictly by Oppo Mostly the BDP-105 model for both
Not sure about the power Amps Or AVR thing but have thought of marantz 7007 or the denon 4000 series or rotel (to power the B&w but mostly out of my price weightage)
For recliners in Av room i have a local dealer here so no prob in that.
Connecting cables will be Chord or Kimber Kable

NOTE: The Av room will have only projector and no tv and also my hall will have only a tv and no projector system.

I have been following all techie sites, also the Hometheater and What Hi-fi magazines for the past 1 and 1/2 year but still have confusions. So, please help guys
Also as many of you will be thinking if some of the above mentioned devices would be available in india so no worries as i have a brother in hong kong from whom i get those products that too at a cheaper rate. But most of these items are available in india except the oppo bluray players and the stewart film screens which i will get from outside.
Also here my 30 Lakh budget has been deducted by 5 lakhs for home automation as it is the most important system for my father to be installed in our new house. So keeping the rest 25 lakh in mind and refering to above details about the brands i have thought of and the pricing please suggest me a great system for getting the best home entertainment experience out of it giving more attention to home theater system in my Av room than the system in my hall.

Waiting for your reply guys help me..........
