Any way a preamp can drive small speakers?

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.

Thanks for all responses!
I know this query is kind of off-the-wall but thought it would be interesting.
If you've ever seen the guts of a BAT 50SE preamp, you'll know why driving tiny speakers shouldn't be unreasonable.
