You can power very small very efficient speakers with that signal, but the level is
fixed and not meant for driving a speaker.

Why would you do that?

Convenience at the moment, I am not in a position to use the supplied
larger speakers so the line out can go to some small computer type
active speakers.

The amp gives the convenience of being able to also connect the MP3 or
mini disk player.
