At least 2+2s, but Spectra33, Spectra 44 or Spectra 66 (if you could ever find them) would sound awesome in that big room with the high ceiling. And save you thousands over the big Maggie's. You might not even need subs with the big Spectras. They sound great with tube amps (although you might want to go to the M180 mono blocks for them or any Maggie for that matter). You have lots of room to hide a couple of amps!
Just get a local tech to change/upgrade the basic parts in the interfaces and change the socks to Spandex.
I would kill to have a room like that for my stereo!
2 things to add.
The room is too big for a maggie alone, you will need a pair of subwoofers. If allowed, say with camouflage to make it look like soji screens you can use a Tympani IV or IVa in there.
The 8008 will power up a maggie well. You might have to work on the tonal balance with the resistors on the tweeters to tame the high end of the Aragon. You can also take it to a technician and have him jack up the bias current further into class A. That would tame the top end.
With subs you can get away with a 200 watter Without subs in that size room you will need over 500W at 4 ohms, preferably closer to 1kw.
