Impedance matching for preamp and amp


can a preamp with 650 ohm outpur impedance (ARC LS25) drive a solid state amp with low input impedance 2K (Threshold T200)? How would this affect the sound?

Can it drive the Threshold? Yes. Will you get a proper impedance match? No. The impedance of the amplifying device should be 10 to 100 times as large. If it is not you will loose the top end information and bottom end information.
