My D800 can only drive my 87dB speakers properly when I use the active cross-over in the Dev. and send the low frequencies to the subs. This was less of a problem with my previous Proac Response D80s (91dB). Speaking of which, you may want to check out Proac's product range, too.
I had a D120, now upgraded into a D220 pro. I was using the D120 with a pair of AperturA Harmonia which are on 88dB in terms of sensitivity.
I never felt the D120 under powered and was very seldom feeling the need to crank it past -6dB.
And now that I have a D220, most of the time I’m below-8dB.
So I would not rule out speakers based on their sensitivity without listening to them before.
My 2 cents,

MacBook Air M2 -> RAAT/Air -> WiFi -> PLC -> Ethernet -> Devialet 220pro with Core Infinity (upgraded from 120) -> AperturA Armonia
