Which accuphase should I consider?

I want to get a new integrated and decided on accuphase, I don't wanna spend an obscene amount of money so I'm considering vintage. I was wondering if you guys had the choice between vintage accuphase which would you consider? My budget is around 5-6k. My speakers are JBL L100 classics which are 4 ohm. I heard the class A accuphase's sound very nice but am worried about the power. Should I get an A/B accuphase instead? I don't want want one too old so I was considering the e-470, e-480, e-380, e-560, or e-600? Should I try and get the newest model possible for the latest advancement in the  AVAA volume dial? Any help is appreciated thank you

I recently purchased the Accuphase E-650.

Get the class A amps, not the A/B.

Accuphase class A will easily drive your speakers guaranteed. They are far more powerful than their specs imply and of a different level sonically to their A/B brethren.

E-600 should be fine. I know someone who preferred it to E-650, that being said, if budget permits get the latest is usually my refrain.
