Speaker Help Please

Looking at a set of Jade 5's. I like the looks of the speakers but the specs are throwing me off. Most 3-ways I've seen run at 89 db but these are 87 db.
Can someone explain the sensitivity to me please. I included specs below. Thinking of running these with a Simaudio I3 SE. Thanx

  1 x 1" Alu high frequency dome
  1 x 3" Alu-pulp composite midrange cone
  2 x 6.5" Acufibre bass cone

Sensitivity: (2.83V @ 1M) 87dB
A/V shielded: no

Regardless of all the speaker hubbub,  In a normal listening room,  A Sim I3 will not have an issue driving these Wharfdales to very high listening levels. The information that you posted which may or may not be accurate shows that you have a 6 ohm,  85.5 db  sensitivity speaker,  the Sim should output about 150 watts per channel to these.  You should be fine.
