Passive pre with very low input impedance amp (i.e. 5K !)

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Dears Sirs,
please excuse my question.
I have two mons of which I like the sound very much.
They have a sensitivity of 0,5V for max power and an extremely and strangely low input impedance of about 5 kohm.
My question is: can it be driven with a passive pre ?
What the drawbacks could be ?
Anyone using passive pre with very low input impedance power amps ?
Thanks and regards,
beppe
