Class A or Tube (or else?) for high pass (bi amp) of Infinity Quantum 2

I want to drive the (difficult Watkins design) bass of my Quantum 2 with a dedicated "brute" amp (have a Behring EP2500 and QSC702 reserved), active crossover (4x4 miniDSP HD). The passive OEM crossover states 200/600/4k. 

Free of the high power requirements for the high pass (how much power DO the 3 Emits highs, 2 dome mid/highs and 1 cone low/mid need???) I would like to use a sweet amp, maybe class A or even tube? 

LOW BUDGET is a must. 

Any ideas, suggestions comments.

BTW, do you understand the crossover design? Not sure but I think it does more than just split the frequencies. I think the levels of each tweeter are different but I could be wrong.

It wasn’t the woofer that sucked all the power from the amp. You don’t want to under-feed the other drivers, good way to blow the tweeters. Not sure what happens when you bypass the factory crossover probably will make it a bit more efficient.

Accordign to the factory published diagram, tweeters are all the same.

Good, I was afraid they did them like the RS1B where one is driven at full volume and the rest are attenuated.
