1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca?
I've bought,auditioned and sold a boatload of premium 6922 tubes,Siemens CCa grey plates and those with the falcon etching are by far the best in my system. 
Tube Preamp to go with Bryston SST2 amp and Magnepan 1.7i speakers
Have owned several iterations of Bryston amps over the years and I can tell you in no uncertain terms that pairing with a tube pre amp is essential.A tube pre will add that touch of romance and naturalness and still retain the articulate bass slam... 
is the amp too powerful..and would it hurt or damage my speakers?
Too much power is like sex,you can never get enough.

Integrated amp comparison/recommendation
And if you're looking at a Tori you may want to consider a Coincident Technology Dynamo 34SE MKIII.In a direct comparison I found the Dynamo to have more gravitas and meaningful bass.Quietest tube amp I have ever owned.Drop dead gorgeous and well ... 
best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student

Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung
Supratek Cortese,with a pre amp of that caliber only the very best vintage will do.I mean tubes not wine. 
Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
Coincident Technology Dynamo 34SE MKIII.I've had the two previous models and the current production MKIII is special.With an NOS tube complement it is one of the most competent Integrated amps available. 
Suggestions for low powered tube amps for Zu Omens
Coincident Dynamo 34 SE,8 wpc,high current very comfortable driving lower efficiency speakers.Average re sale on an MKII about $1,000 or less.Stellar reviews. 
Coincident Technology Dynamo 34SE MKIII
Actually the Genalex Golden Lion KT 77's were the preference of several audio reviewers.I have yet to acquire an EL 34 that surpasses the performance.I acquired the Tungsols from a private source.Personally I would upgrade the power tubes first fo...
