60 watt Rogue Tubes for Vandersteen 3A Signatures


I own 3A Signatures and have a chance to get a 60 watt Rogue tube amp. Will the Rogue drive the Vandies okay? The least I've ever used with them is around 100 watts, but that was solid state.

I don't think 60 wpc is going to get you sufficient decibel levels for anything much more than moderate listening levels. At "live" volume levels, I think the amp will run out of steam.

I'd opt for Rogue M-150 or M-180 monoblocks for these speakers.

Agree with Narrod if you have a nice deal on one
It should be a great starting point with tubes.

I power my 3A Sigs with Vincent ST-800 monoblocks which are a tubed/ss hybrid with 200 w/ch. This works really well. My rule of thumb - tubed power will sound like SS power of twice the watts. So, the 60 tubed watts will sound like 120 watts ss. I don't think that will be enough with the 3A's unless you only listen to chamber music. I would suggest at least 100 tube watts.
