Thanks for your reply. So how many of the QSC's will we need. Will 2 b ok? I think i can set up a separte zone on the amp for the QSC's. the question is about subs. Are there any common subs available that serve dual purpose or will i need to get extra sub too? How many subs?
@csh , I would be a bit wary of
@Kingnoob (all respect here). He posts a lot, but he is very new in his understanding of AV in general and he is neither an installer or a owner of higher-end gear. He's just a beginner enthusiast. This matters. This is also why you should read some reviews.
Before installing the QSCs for my client, I asked several live installers and engineers, and while they made some different recommendations, when I asked about QSC, every time they said, well it costs a few hundred more, but they sound better. So, I rolled with a few hundred bucks more. The client is very happy, but he is still considering to get the matching subwoofer to go along with it. So, your expectations of bass response from these large, loud, powerful speakers should be kept in check with the fact that they still also sell subwoofers specifically designed to go along with them. I would EXPECT two speakers to be plenty loud enough, but you may want the 2 subwoofers that match them as well.
At the end of the day, you will want to WIRE for the speakers. That doesn't mean you have to buy them. It means you have wires, behind your walls, running to the Denon receiver, which you can use in the future if you so desire. You may never buy them, and you may never use them, but they are there, doing absolutely nothing and being quite happy. So, run four wires. Actually, think about whether you want to do amplification within your equipment rack, or at the speaker, then run the appropriate wiring to each location, but I would plan on nothing less than 12 gauge speaker wire, four conductors. This will give you a main speaker, plus a subwoofer if it is needed. AND/OR 2 runs of 2 conductor+drain balanced audio cabling. Which is what you would use for powered loudspeakers like I linked to above. Some clubs run audio in mono, not stereo, so that's something to keep in mind. Depends on the club layout and the sound engineer.
I like what your installer is saying to you, but I would keep in mind that they are using product which all has pretty significant mark up. I would get the Epson 5050 over the JVC. I would get a SilverTicket woven screen over the Elunevision. If you buy those two pieces alone, you are likely to save a fair bit of money.
A 125" screen is appropriate for a 12 foot viewing distance. How far away from the screen do you plan to sit? You want NO LESS than 10" of diagonal for each foot of viewing distance.

Maybe half the price of the similarly performing Elunevision, and it has a proper frame, which you should be using.
Do you plan to paint your room dark? Is the space actually setup to be a theater-like space at all? Or do you plan to leave your ceilings white and your walls bright colors and have bright floors?
What material do you plan to use on the floors?
Front projection is no joke in terms of tradeoffs and compromises. A projector like the Epson 5050 (or the JVC) is great in a dark room, but starts to lose out when you have a brighter room or lights on and lots of reflections off of surfaces. You also should consider not just ambient light, but lighting in general.
I'm reasonably happy with what Speakercraft has to offer. They aren't price leaders, but they are reasonable for the money. There are no price leaders when it comes to quality in-wall speakers that I'm aware of, so when you get into better in-wall speakers, these are solid. You have to go to Triad, or someone similar for really high-quality in-walls and they are a lot more expensive.
There is nothing about the in-ceiling speakers which makes me think they are one bit better than Monoprice...

I use Monoprice all the time for my jobs and don't mark them up like crazy. I make a few bucks, and save the customer a lot. When going with basic in-ceiling 6" or 8" models, or basic in-walls on a budget, then these models perform very well. I just had a guy who is dropping several million into building his dream home come over and listen to my Monoprice speakers... He was like "YUP! Those sound like they will be great throughout my house." - So, don't overspend unless you are going to get a really high quality in-ceiling (once again, Triad).
Love Denon, it will do you fine. Love Yamaha as well, I have no real favorite in that horse race.
The subwoofer is inadequate for the room under normal home theater use. It's sorely lacking in reality. I would be all over asking for good deals on subwoofers, but your space is huge and home theater subs are nothing like club subs. They sound quite different, but I would be looking at 13" or larger models with a lot more power and I would be looking at a minimum of 2, but perhaps more.
Be aware, that if you have unfinished space abutting your finished space, it may offer you a place to hide a larger subwoofer.
You can't have something for nothing. Club speakers are LARGE! They are huge! You really should go to a club with your wife and look specifically at the electronics while you are there. See how they have dedicated sections for amplification, for control, and that they have huge speakers everywhere. If there is a stage, there is a good chance some speakers/subs may even be under it to help fill the space.
Hopefully, you can take your time and do some homework on this.
