Default Anyone listen to speakers w/ headphone amp?

I used to listen to my speakers with my Little Dot amp through it's preamp outputs and connected to a vintage Marantz reciever. I thought it sounded excellent brotha!

Now I use a Woo amp with speakers and it sounds great too. I notice that the Headroom amps have preamp out puts for speakers and I think its a great idea. What are your impressions of speakers with headphone amps?

Most headphone amps work as very nice preamps, no surprise there.

i dont see why not ..
an amp is still an amp. and most will do the job fine.
you can prob use a CMOY and itll still driver the speakers fine with the right cables. lol
