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.

Are these the Vandersteen models with powered subwoofers, like the 5A? If so, that makes a significant difference since the tube amp isn't responsible for powering the difficult low impedances in the bass frequencies. In this case, there are many folks using tube amps, including Atma-Sphere.

I don't know if he still does. When I had 3As I tried Muse, McCormack, Belles and Jadis with success. I didn't care for Rogue, C-J, Quicksilver or Audible Illusions with them. Wendell
