I have a McIntosh C34V pre which I bought new (and it still looks and sounds the same as day 1) which has a built in 20W/ch amp. While designed for headphones, Mac included speaker terminals on the rear of the pre. A nice, handy little touch.
Any way a preamp can drive small speakers?
Does a preamp have enough power to drive small speakers on its own?
Could preamp output be mated to an impedance adjusting "black box" to bypass a main amp?
I've seen many preamps (Cary comes to mind) that look like they could do it.
