Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's


If you had the choice...What amp would you mate with an Audible Illusions 3B preamp into Vandersteen 2ce Sig2's?
Vacuum tube? Solid state? Any comments are welcome. Thank you... All the best...

You might consider looking at some of the offerings from Rogue Audio. I've read 2 lengthy interviews with Mark O'Brian, the owner of Rogue who says they've had a long successful relationship with Vandersteen.

When asked why, Mr. O'Brian remarked, "Because Vandersteen's don't really do anything wrong"

Currently I'm running my Sig 2's with a Rogue Cronus Magnum. After a bit of tube rolling, I've found the sound I've been looking for. Couldn't be happier.
I've heard the 2CE Sig's with Cary tube amps numerous times and the combination is darn near magical.
I'm a long-time Vandy owner, progressing from the 2C to the 2Ci and 2Ce, then to the 3A, followed by the 3A Sig's (a great speaker, AND a great value). Today I have the 5A's and love them. Throughout my journey up the Vandy model line, I have used mostly Bryston amps with them, including the 4B-SST2 in my present system. I think that the current Bryston amplifier line is a fine pairing with Vandy speakers, and recommend that you audition them.
I agree with Yerguy .... Rogue Audio amps and Vandersteen speakers are a perfect match. For many years, my system sang sweet music with a Rogue Audio Cronus (non-Magnum) driving a pair of Vandy 1C's ..... Sublime ! With the increased power demands of the 2Ce Sig 2's, the Cronus Magnum, the Sphinx, or the Pharaoh should be perfect !
And many years later, I can say that, regarding my circa 2006 2ce Sigs, when I upgraded my amplifier to a VTL S200 a couple of years ago the sonic rewards were enormous. The Vandersteens scaled up nicely with the VTL. I am pleasantly satisfied; for the time being at least.
