New AV receiver

If you have an AVR, then you can use that with Power Amp from Pre-Out to power channels. You can also do this without AVR with a Pre-Amp and Power-Amp combo. The Emotiva BasX is beginner level and is decent Power Amp. If you want a good Power Amp for music then it is easily 2-3 lakhs atleast. You can opt for the O&B 3 channel power amp and that will work out cheaper and provide sound signature neutrally as passed on by the AVR. The catch is you need to drive 5 speakers which are 4 Ohm impedance ones and all 5 need more power. So it is better to go for a good 5 channel Power Amp for your LCR and surrounds.
 
to do 7.x.4, you need an AVR that can support 11 channels but Cinema 50 supports 9 channels only right? The Marantz has a warm sound signature which can favor more music listening and the x4800H is more neutral and can adapt to both Movies and Music. Please sample both of these back to back if possible. I have sampled multiple clips and found the Denon better for movies when I purchased them recently. Also which ones are your height channel speakers?

i am eying on rubikore 6 and rubikore cinema all 3 4ohms to power with emotiva
 
i am getting x4800h at 1.35 and cinema 50 at 1.28. Denon has a bit more power and cinema 50 made in vietnam as well. But really want to try marantz this time. If use amp then that little more power matter in denon?
You should spend the least amount of money on an AV receiver. Get one that has pre outputs for all the channels you care about. The power figures reported on the AV receiver are to be taken with a grain of salt. None of them hold up. Besides, if you are plugging in a dedicated power amplifier, that load is less for the AV receiver. Power demands are not continuous for the non primary channels

Is there some reason you are particular about Denon, Marantz? Why not a NAD or an Emotiva MR1L Av receivers? More expensive no doubt but you'll get more for the money in terms of performance

My cousin has bought 2 Emotiva's over the last few years, a processor and recently a power amp. The Processor died within a couple of years and the power amp gave up the ghost within a year and had to have one of its circuit boards replaced.

Cambridge Audio is another option
