These speakers?

How big is your room?
How far away do you sit from the speakers?
How loud are your listening levels?
What amp are you using now? Is it showing signs of strain?
Great questions, I wish the reviewer who said the following had raised those very points and/or qualify his statement. Without doing so, he could have (inadvertently) mislead some readers. I have the feeling that even @TLS Guy may agree with me on this.;)

"The impedance of the UF5 is a little low, dipping below four ohms for a bit, but it can safely be called a six-ohm speaker. Sensitivity is a little on the low side at 83.6 dB (measured at one meter with a 2.83-volt signal, averaged from 300 Hz to 3 kHz), which means the UF5 can hit about 100 dB with about 40 watts. So it'll perform well with pretty much any receiver or halfway-decent amp, although I wouldn't recommend using it with one of those under-$50 Pyle or Lepai amps. "
