Headphone amp used for speakers?

[Potatoe1313]

I have a cheapo pair of speakers (Logitech Z-640) and I plan on getting a headphone amp (PA2V2) sometime in the very near future (as soon as I get HF-1's and sell SR80's to a freind), and I am wondering if anything bad will happen if I use the amp for the speakers? It's not going to explode or anything and cause me to lose fingers/hand when I turn on the amp?

My guess is that the amp won't help the speakers at all, and I should just write off the speakers as a lost cause and just bear with them until I can afford a pair that doesn't sound like crap (better than nothing I guess).

Uhhh, a headphone amp has current measured in the milliamps, and is optimized for driving high impedences, it's not going to drive a set of speakers that are far more power hungry and lower impedence...
