A library is 44db. For a room that large, you might want to consider near-field listening with the speakers a few feet out from a corner. Also, the cleaner the power, the clearer the music at low level. Get the noise floor to disappear.
Once I visited a set-up where the audiophile had his Martin Logan electrostatics about 4 feet apart - facing each other - with his head in the middle. They were like giant headphones. The soundscape was phenomenal. The bass was minimal - but everything else sounded great. It was very impressive. From 10 ft away, you didn’t even know the stereo was playing.
