are the tweeters in series? parallel? combined?
how many watts it takes depend on the resistance, therefore it depend how they are wired and on spl you need
you need to specify how loud you want, that dictates the watts you need
btw: it does not matter if the amp is class A or not, watts are watts...

? Watts IS watts ...
12 Watts into 7 Ohms is 12 Watts
12 Watts into 3.5 Ohms is 12 Watts
now that's an important information you failed to tell first, I am sure you can figure the resistance!
now when you have resistance, you need to provide an information how loud at what distance...and there you go! from sensitivity you get watts required
congrats!
Probably need more than your average small SE will provide I suspect, as you've got 300W below it!
A quick test with any old amp will give you an idea, based on that and the power it was running, design the SE to supply....
Maybe a Big ole 845 amp might do it I dunno...
TOO many variables to say exactly how much power you'll need...
The size, decorations, shape, and floor/wall coverings in/of your room will affect the perceived power of the HF system, as well as speaker-placement In that room, so you really need to do some testing and see....

very interesting discussion on the topic.

your efficiency is given, it comes from the manufacturer...
Sensitivity
93dB/1m/2.83v
(efficiency and sensitivity are the same)
what you need to know, is how loud you require it to play...
seems to me if you don't need too loud, the tweeters are plenty sensitive, all you need is few watts...

Err--Not really....The Listening Room Environment is ALL important with regards Tweeter/HF Performance.
Also, the O/P has 300W 'Under' the HF Channel, and we have NO idea of the size of the room.....
HF is absorbed by any fabrics in the room, and the wall/floor coverings....
For a PERCEIVED certain Volume to MATCH 300W a Much Higher than 'a few watts' will be needed!
Err...not really...efficiency/sensitivity of the speaker is measured under defined conditions...err...not in you listening room, ok? if each manufacturer uses whatever room he wants, than sensitivity is a meaningless number
I agree that room should be taken into the consideration for amp decision, but still, the spec for sensitivity is what it is, sensitivity under defined conditions
