For a large room, the Monitor audio Bronze 500 is a good bet. The Q Acoustics would be the most resolute. The Wharfedale would be balanced. Avoid the Elac.

And a piece of unsolicited advice - select the surrounds from the same series/model as the floorrstanders for maintaining consistency in tone and timbre.

Q Acoustics 5040 will be good but may be bright for some avr/ amplifier.

Q acoustic 5000 series are more revealing speaker than 3000 series.

Denon 3800H will be able to drives those?

Iam blindly partial towards Qacoustics, so the 5040 gets my vote

Denon 3800H will be able to drives those?

The 5040 are 91.5 db sensitive, though at 6 ohms. So the denon should be able to drive them easily. Had it been 91.5 db at 8 ohms, I would have been more confident .

I have all Wharfdales and love their sound. I've heard 12.3 and loved it, 12.4 would be better

Floorstanders for fronts only or for centre and surrounds as well?
What are you planning for the remaining 10 feet?

Only for fronts. Center will be matching model/make. Surrounds haven't decided yet but will look for 30k/pair range options max.

Remaining 10 feet is for Bar.

You really don't need floorstanders for HT fronts since the sub cutoff will be at 80 Hz or so.
Bookshelves will be equally effective.
Unless you plan to play music on pure direct.

What's your display?
Large TV? Projector?

Your room is perfect for large screen viewing experience.

I have a similarly sized room. Wanted to have a bar and stuff, but gave up on that for the movie theatre viewing experince.
150 inches at 14-15 feet is just too good.
Dali Zensor 3 as fronts and Zensor 1 as surrounds.
No regrets absolutely.
Also, drinks and dark rooms do not work together is what I have found out. So it has to be either.

Dedicated room done recently

PLANNING AND INITIAL WORK Recently our long-held dream turned real when we shifted to our own house which includes a dedicated HT/HiFi room. This room houses both the stereo and the home theatre. Both setups are fully independent. Room size is 23.5 x 14 x 11.5 feet. I guess it would have been...

Usually peoples say avr does not have good power. Until connect and try can not tell.

 

[AnshulKansal]

Thank you all for helping me decide and providing valuable feedbacks. I finally decided to go with Monitor audio Bronze 500 and C150 for center.

Need help with surrounds and atmos speakers

Surrounds - Monitor Audio Bronze 50 or Bronze 100?
Preferred - Bronze 50

Atmos - Will be mounting them on the ceiling not inside. Looking for speakers with screw thread.

Jbl control one
Others?
Pls suggest some atmos speakers without compromising on the quality. Budget max 40k for 2 pairs.

Go with Bronze 50 if the price difference between it and the 100 is significant, else I'd go with the 100. This is because the 100 extends lower and has higher sensitivity, hence easier for your receiver to drive loud.

I'd avoid the control one for two reasons (a) underwhelming performance, (b) more importantly, maintain the same tone and timbre across all speakers to not detract from the Immersion. You'd ideally not want the effects to sound different when it pans from the front to the sides.

Which one would you recommend for heights?
Will be mounted on ceiling.

If Monitor audio makes height channels, it'll be safe to stick to them. I haven't had experience with brands other than the Wharfedale WCM80 which I use for my own.

One more question, how do you intend to mount them without mounting them inside the ceiling?

Using some kind of mounts. That's why i was looking for light weight speakers. The one from MA are heavy and expensive.

Go with polk 80. No need to be of same brand
