each one is good enough to give any other a run for its money.
Indeed. Even if "cost is no object", does it make any sense to spend $65000k on a pair of speakers that, to your ears, sound the same as a $8000 pair of speakers? You need to audition for yourself to determine what you want!!
And a special thanks on the recommendation about the sub. Am seriously considering the funky waves one .But am really skeptical about putting 4 in one room. But its seriously worth a consideration although I was planning for 2 subs.
It's all about setup, EQ, and level matching. As I said earlier, I recommend 6 or even 8 subs in one room. You might never use the full potential of them, but they'll be so underutilized that there won't be any audible distortion - it will sound unbelievably clean. Just because you have more subs, does not mean they will be "louder" on average. They will just be more capable of loudness PEAKS which are RECORDED in the content material. If you're going all out, it doesn't make sense to be limited on subwoofers.
The best systems always use
at least 3 subwoofers. It's just a function of how bass works in small rooms.
I am really skeptical about having a large display as I feel that the pixels/granules/particles would appear scattered and would not look good. About 152 inch Panasonic plasma display I do not know if they sell it and even so it has a res of 4096x2160 4x of full HD .I feel it would seem like watching a .3gp mobile clip on an HDTV where in such a situation no matter what, results are far less than satisfactory. But you got point about light control . Worthy of consideration.

1) I was thinking of buying an Yamaha RX A 3000 a/v receiver but now it seems it won’t be enough can you suggest any other perhaps or is this one good enough?
For starters, I don't think you want a processor with a built-in amp. External amps are always a superior choice.
I'm not saying you need to spend an arm and a leg on a processor - quite the contrary actually. I think instead of the RX-A 3000 which costs around $2000 you would be better off with a Marantz AV7005.
The thing about electronics in a true high end setup is that you should be willing to add a ton of extra electronics - don't expect just the processor to handle everything. I would be looking at external video processors, external equalizers like the TACT, DEQX, SVS Audyssey to integrate everything perfectly.
It sounds ironic, but I would want a world class high end processor to do very little - just have tons of pre-out voltage, and a strong phono section. Let all else be done by dedicated electronics - why should my surround processor be worrying about video upscaling or source calibration?
2) I could not find any a/v receiver which can connect 4 subs can any one tell me how the connections will be.? Max found to be 11.2 ch
This must be done externally. A Y splitter, plus two SVS Audyssey units, will allow you to integrate four subwoofers for example. You want to make sure the phase of each sub is aligned with the phase of the other sub, and the global result is equalized for the flattest possible response at multiple seating positions.
3) I was thinking of something else as well If I could use a pc as my video processor connected directly to the projector or tv and sound card connection goes to a/v receiver or preamp .When I say pc I mean a full fledged powerhouse running to max capabilities i.e 8gb graphcs card,sound card,12gb ram and latest processor. What do you think of this idea.? This is an alienware system and available for arnd 8800$ approx.
Alienware are overpriced. I always recommend building PCs yourself. If I WAS getting a commercial PC, I'd get Falcon Northwest to do it. I'm a sucker for their custom paint jobs
ALso bear in mind that you want a dead quiet listening/HT room. A PC can have fan noise which is counterproductive. If using an HTPC it must be in a different room. I wouldn't use analog connections to the processor - HDMI all the way.
4) Can I use the floor speakers as rear speakers as well ? will it be a good idea or will it affect the quality of sound?
As long as the room has plenty of room to place speakers, full range speakers are an optimal solution.
5) I need some recommendations regarding surround speakers and bookshelf speakers as well
I would just get whatever goes with the identical front three speakers I chose - maybe even the exact same speakers - or a lesser model if it's too expensve. I would stick to monopole surrounds as well, personally.
I don't know how good Yamaha's YPAO is, but supposedly Audyssey is thus far the best room correction EQing system.
From what I've read (again like you I don't know personally), the high end Harman Room EQ system is the best, but it is only available in the ultra expensive Lexicon and JBL Synthesis processors, which are both pretty overpriced compared to a good cheap processor in source direct mated to external equalizers.
