Can I Safely Drive Headphones From Speaker Terminals?

I've seen a few inexpensive, probably 10 watts per channel or less, tube amps in second hand shops. Is there harm in driving a pair of headphones directly from them? I have Sennheiser 580's that are about 300 ohms impedance. Want something retro and cheap to drive them from.

They are around 35 or 40 ohms. (nt) - BrianG 13:10:46 08/20/00 (0)
