Mark responded to the mail. So Total with Shipping + Taxes is around INR1,80,000 which is high.
That's comparable to the price of a pair of actual cinema speakers in India. I now hope you people (and more importantly the OP) get the point.
A professional loudspeaker manufacturer like JBL/EV/QSC has more to offer at such prices.

Yo are not getting the point where these JBL/EV/QSC speakers be needing lot more additional cost than just that to run directly wired from AVR. That was my point. The price gonna go up. And even INR1,80,000 is already much higher than I was trying to limit. So yeah if I have to go that high I would simply spend on Paradigm Premier series. But as you see since the start of this thread I am trying to find alternate for Paradigm speakers which cost much less and not as much as them. That is the point.
Not at all, the entry-level 3-way speaker JBL 3730 cited earlier is capable of passive operation (see picture below). And at 105dB/W, it's 15dB more sensitive than the average domestic speaker, it could very well be run from an AVR if desired (yes, that's true).
I did not want to argue with you earlier or overload you with information, as you appeared to be already overwhelmed by what was being posted in the thread. I cited such speakers only to tell you that you're in the commercial (business) price zone, and not because these speakers would actually fit in your room.

If you want to get both Amp and DSP for 3-way for under 60k, you would have to start considering car amplifiers like Sony, Pioneer etc. along with a 6-channel DSP like DBX Driverack or Behringer Ultradrive, as already mentioned earlier.

Cool so we can purchase passive crossovers fir it. Please do list a good one. Will definitely look into it.
Purchase? The network goes under the mid-range bracket. If you're very interested in knowing more, see the attachment below. After assembly, the speaker arrangement would be approximately 6ft tall, making it overkill for your kind of application. You would do much better picking up a design, such as the one mentioned by Vineethkumar01.

No problem. If I consider dedicated setup in a large room I would definitely consider it. For now back to driver selection I guess.
Am looking at SB Acoustics Aluminum Drivers vs Vifa Peerless Tymphany NE Family drivers in pairing with Aurum Cantus Tweeter.
Which driver in the NE series are you talking about? NE 180? NE123? NE225?, NE315?
What in your opinion in good? low distortion in intended passband of the driver? Good directivity match with an intended tweeter? What are you going to partner this driver with, if you plan to use it as a midrange? what are the SPLs that you intend to achieve with this unit?
You should be asking yourself these kind of questions
At least take a look here for detailed reports on various parameters these drivers are good at: https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements?page=2 They have measurements for NE123, NE149, NE180.
For example: https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/vifa/vifa-ne123w-08 Do you understand the kind of graphs here? On and off axis responses, harmonic distortion etc? Does they look matching with the tweeter that you may want to crossover to and at what frequency?
Here is an implementationof the Peerless NE180:

Does that look good to you?
Here is another for NE123:

Plan to pair them with Aurum Cantus AST2560 Tweeter. NE149W-08 Mids + NE225W-08 Woofers.

Plan to pair which NE series driver with your tweeter?
Did you even go through all those links I gave and understand which driver might suit your application?
Sorry to say, but for me, this is not going anywhere.
All the best.
It's a decent enough mid-bass speaker but ragged in the top end so not so easy to work with is my guestimate.
Many decades ago somebody I respected gave me a decent rule of thumb for designing my first set of 3-way speakers.
First make sure that the crossover fell outside the critical communications band of 300 to 3000 Hertz and the wider the range here the better/easier. Secondly make sure all the drivers had smooth responses at least an octave above and below the crossover point and that the woofer had to/ should be at least twice as big as the chosen midrange if possible.
That last rule of thumb is very flexible but works well if you think about 8 inch woofers with a 4inch midrange. It also worked for me using a 15" woofer with an 8" midrange.
I think you should go and read some books on speaker design before wasting any more of your time and possible wasting a lot of money

It is difficult to guess the result unless someone else has tried the exact same combination. So I guess you now understand why you need to copy / follow a tried and tested design.
Or alternatively, get something ready-made like:

Yes. But am unable to decide between these and SB Acoustic Aluminum drivers.
