I got the "budget really isn't an issue" part but even so...
1. You want a VP180
2. You want awesome subwooferage
3. You want larger mains but for HT I would argue that M60s or M80s would be fine.
M100s would be even better, of course, but you're getting into diminishing returns. I have been most impressed with systems that have effortless subwooferage so spend money there first. Not "big bass", just enough sub/subs in the right places to keep up with the rest of the system without limiting output or making embarrassing noises.
No I have never used "subwooferage" in a sentence before but I saw it in this thread and liked it.
BTW for a music system (typically 2.0) I would cheerfully go all the way to M100s or LFR1100s, although I stopped at M60s there as well (so yes, old M60s in the HT and new M60s in the music system downstairs).
