Se84ufo from decware. 2 watts. Already assembled. I have used a few different Amps with my horns, the decware is head and shoulders above the rest. After hearing it for a couple of years, I can't imagine why you would use solid state with such sensitive speakers. The SET sound is one of the most important benefits of running horns in the first place.
 
I had great luck with "the wire" based on the LME49600 parallel (8 of them for ~15Watts)

Since the board are now unavailable and 15W is too high anyway
I now use Ebay headphone amplifier and parallel 4x lme49600 for around 5watts RMS output.
Not 5W continuous as stacked chip has no heatsink and become hot over 1.5watts but I rarely use more than 0.4watts anyway.

Sound great, almost on par with "the wire" version, has DC offset built in and zero noise.

I use AD8599 as input opamp (1/2, the other half is the DC servo)
