Thought I'd share my experience, as I upgraded a few months ago from Wilson Sabrina to a used pair of Sasha 2. I've been driving them with an ARC Ref Phono 2SE, ARC Ref6 preamp and a D'Agostino Classic Stereo. Truly fantastic combination, and the Sasha's sound wonderful with that.
BUT - I have a small setup in my home office with a Cary CAD300SEI integrated amp. This is an all tube SET integrated (Single Ended Triode, if you're unfamiliar with tube amps) based on the 300B tube. SET amps are pretty magical for those that appreciate what they offer, which is an absolutely glorious midrange. I had some buddies over, and decided to hook the Cary up to the Sashas. All 15 watts of it! Yes, the Sasha's have a pretty challenging load (4 Ohm nominal with a dip to 2.17 Ohms at 90 Hz), though they're pretty sensitive (92 dB). I have to say, the Cary/Sasha combination sounded fantastic as well. In my particular setup (that is, a very lively room with hardwood floors and no treatments beyond rugs, upholstered furniture and drapes over windows) neither I nor my friends felt anything was lacking in terms of available dynamic range, and that midrange magic was still there.
To me the bottom line is to listen to as many combinations as you can. There are a LOT of great choices out there, and you should give as many of them a try as you can. Take your time and enjoy the process (I rather miss the large amount of time I spent in dealer showrooms listening to different combinations of gear).
I'd also agree with the advice to not worry about a preamp or integrated amp with an on board phono preamp. For your setup, if you're serious about vinyl you'll eventually want a dedicated phono preamp. If you're just starting out there are a lot of good phono preamps for under $2K - or even under $1K you could get just to get started and upgrade later.
