Amp search

So I'm looking for an amp to bi-amp the upper section of my palladium p37f's. Either solid state class A or tube, between 50 and 100 watts. This is only going to do work above 550 hz with benign impedance loads. Budget is 2500$ so obviously used. The problem I'm having is finding one with 32 DB gain to match the the amp I will be using on the woofers. It's proving a bit tricky to find one. Variable gain one would be even better. Can anyone point me towards such a product? I'm open to  older models, within reason.

You'll need a crossover to match levels.

What's wrong with the amp you have?

Parasound A21. Used probably $12-1400. Some watts class a, not sure how many but is definitely on the warm non mechanical side and one of the more tubey sounding ss amps I’ve heard. Only one I can think of with variable gain except the old Denon amps.

A crossover to match levels? Don't think I understand. As long as gain on both amps is the same, the levels will also be the same. There’s nothing wrong the my current amp btw.

Yes I know parasound offers this feature and I've heard this amp but that's way too much power and not really class A. Also not a high achiever when it comes to midrange and treble although it's ok.
