I have a Connect Amp. In our new house I want to wallmount some speakers, and are looking at the Audiovector On-wall speakers. Here is the specs from teh manufacturer, as well as a link:
Frequenzy Range -6dB ( 50-52 kHz)
Sensitivity ( 8 Ohm) 88 dB
Nominal Impedance 5 Ohm
X-over frequencies 800/3000
Power Handling 200W

Additional question:
Does these speakers benefit from buying a Sonos Subwoofer?

Connect AMP and Audiovector speakers - will they work

If you can try these, the specs look more suited for Connect Amp, with nominal impedance of 8 ohms: https://www.dali-speakers.com/loudspeakers/phantom-install-speakers/phantom-ikon/

If you want them to go loud, the Connect Amp may not suit. A speaker with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms can often drop as low as 4 at times, the limit of the Connect Amp tolerance. These may well drop to 2 ohms, given that they go down quite low, to frequencies that need more power to deliver with adequate sound levels. For that reason they can do without a Sub, but I would go with a Connect and a third party amp with more grunt, that can deliver the current drawn by them when the impedances drops.

Kumar is correct - the 5 ohm impedance is difficult for a Connect:Amp to drive, and if you turn up the volume you'll most likely throw the amplifier into protection mode.
Something like a Niles SI-2150, Monoprice Monolith 2x200, or Outlaw 5000 being fed by a plain jane Connect will do quite nicely, though - and even a cheap Niles SI-250 will handle them much better than the Connect:Amp. Going to larger 5 channel amplifiers also gives you the option of more speakers later with a matched amplifier profile, if that's something you're interested in at some point.
Aside, that's actually a really beautiful designed speaker, it reminds me of a lot of the MartinLogan products with its folded electrostatic tweeter, but with Scandanavian industrial design influence. Part of why I fell in love with my VA speakers is aesthetics, and those have it in spades.
