You don’t have to spend $400 on speaker stands. I use Pangea stands with my small Harbeths and they are fine!

Current amp setup for secondary listening room
Hi Audiogoners!
I have recently come into possession of a pair of KEF LS 50 (original non wireless) speakers.
I have also recently acquired a Michael Yee Audio power amplifier PA -1.
Since I work from home, I am looking into a secondary setup for my home office.
My question is:
Can I use the PA-1 with a Fostex HP A8 as a preamp to drive the LS 50 speakers?
If this is not a good combination, I am open to suggestions regarding amps/preamps.
Also, I have read that bookshelf speakers of this nature are best utilized when they are placed on speaker stands.
Does this mean needing to spend around $400 on stands?
I could also use some advice on the nature of budgeting for this purchase. Not sure where I need to be cash wise to appropriately complement these speakers with the preamp/amp setup.
I listen to all kinds of music but with an emphasis on classical and jazz piano.
Thanks in advance for your much appreciated advice!
