Sonically are you getting the desired sound, and your only concern being the power required to achieve that? How do your FR5s sound with the HiFi Rose at lower volumes?

The position of the volume control is dependent on how the amps designer spaced the step increments, nothing more. Als the level of the signal the amp is receiving and the size of the room are factors.
Indeed, however, I believe the poster was referring comparatively to the difference with the FR5s and his previous speakers, noting a need for more power from the amplifier. Some amplifiers better provide for increased current delivery with lower impedance speakers. To a degree I was hinting at the synergy, or possible lack there of, between the HiFi Rose amplifier and the FR5s. Not having either I can not comment further.

The FR5 arenât particularly low impedance. They are lower sensitivity than many but not hard to drive from a current perspective.
I wouldnât worry about the position of the volume control unless youâre driving youâre amp into clipping or protection or sense a shift in sound quality.

No problem at all driving my FR5âs with NAD M23, 200 watts into 8 ohms⌠by the time I hit 45 on the BHK pre volume, the wife and daughter will be complaining⌠
