Preamp/Amp impedance mismatch

I'll apologise up front for this 'newbie' question!

I have Channel Islands Audio D-100 monoblocks, with a rated input impedance of '100k ohms'. I am considering a Linn Kolektor preamp to go with them. However, the Linn has an output impedance of '300 ohms'. Is this going to cause any sort of problem?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies - that's certainly reassuring.

The main reason why I'm leaning towards a Linn preamp is because of the compact size - which is all that will fit in my rack - and the HT pass-thru feature.

Does anyone have any comments on the quality of Linn preamps? Is there anything else that would fit the bill?

Thanks.
