    Well, hypothetically, yes, but there isn't a way to do it and make it sound good.

    You'd have to get a step down transformer to hook up to the speaker terminals in your integrated, which would convert it to RCA, and a lower level signal, which would then feed the amp.

    It can drastically change output impedance's, and really shouldn't even be considered as an option though.


    Looks like it's time to invest in either a separate preamp, or a new integrated.
