Vandersteen 2ce Sig II

So I've got a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with TS KT 120 tubes and am updating my speakers from some Martin Logan Aerius i's that I built when I worked there in college over 15 years ago. Gonna have the mylar replaced and put them in a second system. I was wondering if anybody thought the Vanersteen 2ce Sig II's were a good match for the Cronus Magnum with the big bottle upgrade. I'm currently using VPI Scout with a Grado Reference Master cart and mainly only listen to vinyl although I do have a Mac Mini with a cheap DAC hooked up to it. Any thoughts would be appreciated if anybody has had experience with this setup.
Thanks, Tim

My combination of the Rogue Cronus (non-Magnum) and Vandersteen 1C's was sublime ..... a beautiful musical presentation which I enjoyed for many years. I have since upgraded my speakers to the Revel F-12's which has added even more to my enjoyment of my music. Rogue Audio and Vandersteen match really well together .... the Cronus Magnum and Vandy 2Ce Sig II's should be very nice playmates. Good Luck and Happy Listening !

My wife and I listened at length to a Rogue Magnum and 1Cs at a friend's audio salon (and home). The combination provided nothing more than background music. We went looking to upgrade from my Sophia Baby and REALLY wanted to like a Rogue amp. The Magnam and Dynaudio bookshelves was a better match, but again, nothing to write home about. I'm no longer interested in Rogue amps. I also am confused by the gushing of Vandersteen. I've also heard Vandys with MacIntosh amps. Good sounding, but...

Thanks for the feedback. I've really enjoyed the Cronus Magnum with the Martin Logans in the room I've got setup. Mt10425, sorry to hear about your luck with them.
Adam18, sounds like it worked for you. I'm getting the 2ce's for a good enough deal that I think I can afford to listen for a while and if I don't like it, They're not that hard to sell.
Thanks again, guys.

"you can place a pair of steen,s in a room and easily get good sound....
With a little TLC and reading the well written owners manual you get the magic the speaker is capable of. As with any great speaker, placement, vertical alignement side to side level precise for both speakers, etc

The Rogue Cronus Magnum and Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's are two of the best buys in audio. I've owned that particular combination, with the KT90s, and it was excellent. You should get a lot of fatigue-free listening enjoyment out of them, and both companies provide excellent customer service.
