Amp for a tweeter

Hi
I’m looking for suggestions.

I’m moving towards a 3 way active crossover system. I’d like to have a dedicated amp for the tweeter. I’m looking for a low power but low noise floor. Is there an amp on the market dedicated to drive only a tweeter?

The midrange will be a First Watt J2 and the crossover will be via First Watt B4.

I primarily listen to chamber music at low volume but would like to improve my system for symphonic music.

I was surprised to read you're going to use the J2 for midrange. Why? Because as I was reading your thread I was thinking all along to recommend the M2. I wasn't sure if it had enough power but probably would as you're using the J2.

I love the way my M2 presents the upper frequencies. Only wish I could find a higher power amp that had that presentation without breaking the bank.

Low power amp has lower signal gain than high power amp. How you going to match it?

I run a PP EL34 amp (30 Watt) on the woofer/mids and a 2A3 SET amp (3 Watt) on the tweeters. Works for me.

He did say he was going to use an active xover.
