A few points:

(1) At the outset, I think you need to recheck you prices. A Z-11 and B&W 600 will shoot your budget by 100% if not more. A good sound processor and multi channel amplifier (leaving out the Emotiva) will cost you 5 lakhs, at least.

(2) Secondly, if you are looking at a dedicated room, allocate some money for room acoustics. Without that all your expensive equipment will sound bad.

(3) Never look at processors/multiple amplifiers unless you are technically savvy. Installing them and using them is a nightmare.

(4) Irrespective of what combination you get, you will always need a source such as a Blu-Ray player.

Cheers

I second Venkatcr. Having many components may seem impressive at first, but unless one is a gadget freak, it is far more sustainable (and economical) to go with an AV Receiver.
