Ayre is a good match (older VX-5 or newer VX-R, although VX-R unlikely to be any used for sale yet and enw out of your price range).
Some of ARC's SS amps should be obvious considerations (older Class AB and newer Class D amps).
If you can find an Aesthetix Atlas stereo amp ($8K new) used that should work well.
BAT VK-250 if similar to current VK-255 with input impedance of 50Kohms on paper works fine. House sound wise should also work well, as ARC is known for transparent, open, 3-dimensional sound, whereas BAT is more sonically dense especially in the midrange, and their SS amps have good bottom end control. Should be a decent pairing.
Are you thinking of buying sight unseen or can you audition any of these amps via used stock at local dealers?
