they are some microlab solo 7c, they have internal amp on them, they heat a lot.... i am not sure how is their resistance, if the line out has ~600ohm, then, if they don't have a lot of resistance it could shortcircuit them or the x5.... i mean, if you have a generator's resistance very very high, a light resistance on the external circuit makes it shortcircuit, as far as electricity goes, right?.... i am afraid i don't really have where to look for what the jack of the speakers impedance is.... it kind of sounded better with the line out, but now i am using headphone out, due to fear to not shortcircuit them....
You should use line out unless it sounds noticeably awful because the speakers aren't expecting line level (which would be rare and immediately obvious, and you said it sounded better).
Apart from anything, the line out also uses substantially less battery power of the X5 since the power amp isn't running.
