Greetings!

I'm looking for a tube tweeter amp.  My system is bi-amped.  I'm running a Paragon 12-A pre-amp.  Speakers are ESS AMT 1 Towers.  I'm looking for a tube amp for the tweeters.  The tweeters are very efficient.  I listen to a wide variety of music and usually play them very loud.  Do you guys have any suggestions for what will work well with them?

How efficient are the tweeters?

Very.

Perhaps a bit biased but since you asked.

It looks like they are 92dB efficient 4 Ohm drivers, which is moderately efficient.  You may find the 8 Watts offered by 300B Paramount to be sufficient, depending just how loudly you listen.

If the power level works for you, some parts inside the amplifier could be adjusted to remove some of the LF signal before it reached the tweeter crossover.
