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.

If you have a very good tweeter, a pure Class A wide bandwidth amp of 5 to 20 watts would be nice.
Pass had a project one years ago, that I made which drove the treble panel of Quad ESL57's and a Kelly Decca ribbon as also >12khz

He may have done a First Watt one since, these are the perfect tweeter amp, even mid range as well, in a 3 way as you have.

BTW the First Watt B4 is a killer active Xover
