Granite Slabs
yeah Gregm might be right... 
Plinius 8200 MkII and Paradigm Studio 100 v2?
I was driving my Studio 100 with 110 watts at 8 ohms then I have now 200 watts at 8 ohms driving them..there is not a difference..people always say the Studio 100 is a very power hungry speaker..I did not live that kind of experience..175 watts at...

B&W 7NT vs. Paradigm reference 80 for plinius mkII
Again Paradigm Studio 100..You won't need a subwoofer with 100 for music..With 80 you might want a sub.. 
ICs and Cables to match Paradigm Studio 100 v2s

Best $4-7K speaker for HT and music?
VMPS RM40 and Focus 20/20...They are huge speakers(especially RM40) but you and your wife just have to get used to big speakers.. 
Looking for speaker choice advice.....
Every guy's dream is to have a dedicated music room..so you have one..you are lucky at that sense..Also it is a big room..Your budget is 3,5 K..If I were you I would buy a used VMPS RM40..these speakers are big but as size is not an issue you can ... 
Speakers
If you want to spend 5000 ,VMPS RM40 or used Legacy Focus would be fine for you..If you want to spend less then Paradigm Studio 100 is a good choice..

Hi Ljgj..You say you own both the Legacy Focus and VMPS RM40..Which one do you like more?let"s say if I had 6000 $ which of them would you suggest?? 
Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock??
Actually I liked Sogood51"s idea a lot;using two pair of Super Tower RSE..That idea sounds quite nice and also you have a really big room and using two pair of speakers is a good idea IMHO.
