No idea if that trick works with the F5.2's and frankly I'm not buying another set because they disappointed in other areas as well (in terms of sound and looks).
It seems to me that AJ has been designing speakers as of late based on "feedback" (or Elac is giving him this direction as all of his previous designs were voiced completely different). Also, they have gotten noticeably cheaper in terms of "build" compared to their predecessors. The Uni-Fi's being no exception as the quality of the vinyl is different as are things like the binding posts, feet (for the towers), etc.
No disrespect. If I attempted to do what you proposed....I would surely make a mess of it.
Respect ✊. No worries.

You might be surprised. The main comment about the F6.2's was their lack of bass. If you discovered a $5 way to fix that, people would buy that speaker in droves.
I like my UF5's there a good speaker....
There are plenty, you just have to look at higher end AVRs. Yamaha Aventage, Pioneer Elite, Denon X series, for example.
Most receivers rated at 4 ohms that drive the Uni-Fi adequately are very expensive. If you invest in high quality amps first then all you ever need to upgrade is the processor. XTZ Edge A2-300 is a Class D amplifier rated at 2 x 300 watts into 4 ohms that is $500 shipped. Outlaw audio has the 5000x Class A amplifier and is rated at 5 x 180watts into 4ohms for $749 + $65 s&h. Several award winning amps like Nad Electronics are Class D and at $500 each XTZ is what I am using for all my channels. I have 5 of them. The Outlaw 5000x weighs a lot and can be to heavy for most cheap shelving units. Both are fantastic units that breath new life into your speakers and will integrate with your Sony. I have used both with the Uni-Fi.
I just got the XTZ Edge A2-300, am running the UF5's, and use my Pioneer as a preamp. I also bought a pair of used Audioquest Water RCA's, and A Vodka toslink for my Bluesound. I am pretty happy with the results. Say what you want, i could defiantly notice an improvement since I upgraded my cables this year. Some are used, some are new, I pretty much upgraded all of them, but yeah I like what i hear. It's a totally budget system, that can be very revealing at times. I kind of figured out I like the "class D", "digital" sound. The way I thought about all the upgrades this year was , I'm high risk, live alone, am isolating, and wanted to do what made me happy. Aside from the UB5#2's I tried most of my upgrades were keepers.
So here I am back and finding that nobody seems to have taken in this “tweak”. Anyways, I thought I would post an update.
True. A larger volume lowers the tuning of the same port. There is no point in providing additional 2 6.5” woofers crossed down at 90hz if they sound the same as a single 6.5” woofer on the B6.2.
That was always my problem with the Debut floorstanders...the bass response wasn't that much better than the bookshelf models. Even the original Debut's were the same way as I was scratching my head why my B5's hit just as low and as hard as my F5's. The only difference being the multiple woofers "energized" the room slightly more. The 2.0s got worse in that aspect.
