HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.

The audiolab is a british amplifier that means usually for smaller rooms and of lower than average current it probably will drive them ok for low volumes but usually not the type of amp that works with every speaker.

Hi thecarpathian. 
Yes the 6000a can be used as a power amp, preamp or integrated. Puts out 75W at 4ohm and I dont listen to music loudly. Not the best amp for Brystons, but as mentioned earlier, I bought the amp initially to power an old set of Kef Q11s.

But I did find a review where someone tested the amp with the Brystons and had no trouble. Got the Brysons dirt cheap with warranty. Worst case scenario I crack a few bottles of red and buy a bigger amp. Kidding. Sit back down guys.
The valve preamp is to run a Rega turntable through. Didn’t need to buy it - was more of a curio and I’m competent with a soldering iron and have a lot of spare time at the moment. Can always sell it or use on the second upstairs system with the kefs i guess.

Look, I’ve never claimed to not be an idiot and I do appreciate everyones time and advice.

I’ve only purchased active studio monitors the last 20 years or so, except for the Kefs. Separate components are all new to me.

Well then I certainly hope they work out well for you!
You are a braver man than I.
I would find a way to solder my fingers together.
