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.
With a transformer, some preamps might be able to drive small speakers at low volume but there's a reason they are preamps, not amps: inadequate power!
