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

So I woke up with a very sore head and depleted bank account this morning.

Recently bought an Audiolab 6000a and Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp. I’ve never owned a preamp before and I hope they’re compatible for my KEF Q11.

I then had a few bottles of wine...

Woke up and saw I had purchased a passive pair of Bryston A2.

Will the amp be able to power the speakers? I don’t listen to loud music. 
Please help this idiot.

Could've been much worse, at least you got something tangible.

You’re a cheeky lot.

Have I not made it clear this was a one off aberration? Which I actually now have peace with due to forum member's constructive chastising and helpfulness. So thanks all. The 

Elekit arrived today. Hooray! Will post pics once I’ve finished glueing it together

Good luck, hope you know something about the assembly of electronics. Otherwise sell the kit and move on.

I've got to ask:
Why did you buy an integrated amp and a preamp?
Can you use the 6000a solely as an amp?
Also, your amp I believe is 50 watts and the Bryston's  are 87db.
Not enough juice in my opinion for them to reach their full potential.
