I absolutely agree that it is best for the OP to use a high sensitivity speaker. The Legacy Focus may work, but I don't consider it's sensitivity to be high. The spec is stated as 95.4db (2.83V @ 1m), however since it is a 4 ohm speaker, this is a 2 watt rating. The 1 watt rating should be used for comparison to 8 ohm speakers, and that is 3db lower or 92.4 db. This may still be too high. Stereophile reviewed an earlier version of this speaker that was spec'd at 96db (2.83V @ 1m), but measured 94.5db (2.83V @ 1m), so an actual 1 watt rating was 91.5db.
Using a high sensitivity speaker will increase the probability of accurately reproducing the wide dynamic range of classical music in a large room and also allow use of the current amp, Moon 340i, to achieve this. For that 10k price, IMHO, this should be on the list to consider.
