Pass Aleph series with Apogee??

I have and ARC SP-9 and Apogee Caliper tweeters and am searching for an amplifier, perhaps Pass Aleph, for excusively the tweeters as I have an active Apogee crossover and will also be considering A powerful SS amplifier(s) to power the bottom end exclusively.The bottom end is a single Dynaudio 17w75 in an incredibly rigid designed and executed box.Any experience mating these power(current) hungry tweeters with any of the Aleph series and or the ARC preamps. Price is somewhat secondary and musical tastes is primarily smaller chamber music but must also display the ability to kick when need be!! Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I use Alpeph 1.2's with Duetta Signatures, and it's a match made in heaven. The Calipers are a bit tougher load than the Duettas. The Calipers are nominal 3 ohms vs the Duetta nominal 4 ohm. The 1.2's are still good for about 250 watts at this impedance, so they should work fine.

They are pretty heavy and run hot, though (think space heater).
