Best used integrated under $5k

Hey guys

Preparing for a move out from our NYC apartment to a house in the suburbs. 
As part of that planning to create dedicated 2 channel space. At the moment using my salk sound speakers with marantz receiver. 
Plan is to get a new TT. Also last year I had done countless hours of auditions and based on that had settled on Wilson Sabrina. Planning to buy them used to save some dough. 
Also planning to buy used integrated. Want to spend < $5000. Short list is
- Hegel 360
- Luxman 509
- ML 585
- Audio Research VSI75
- Naim Supernait 2
- Krell Vanguard

Bunch of these brands are not that easy to find in the used market and you have to wait. 
Would appreciate any inputs on the above and anything else I should be looking at.

How much power do the Wilsons require?

Looking at minimum impedance at 2.5 ohms, they may be a tough load.

I owned Ayre gear, I can highly recommend the AX5-20, Ayre has a certain clarity and sweetness that I assume carries into this integrated.

I own the Luxman. It's one of the best amps I have heard at any price. I'd highly recommend it if you can find it around that price.

The Vitus RI-100 used should be around your budget, and has the power.

The Gryphon 120 is another one to look at, but I highly doubt it'd be around the used budget.
