Adam18,
The Vandersteen is a pretty decent speaker at its price point but I would agree with mikirob. The Lore is much more efficient and has a high load impedance. This design(simpler crossover) type usally is more open, dynamic,life- like and IMO more natural in sound and realism. With your stated musical taste this would be a excellent match with a high quality low-moderate power tube amp.It`d be ideal to trial the Lore for direct comparisons.It should really mate well to your Rougue amplifier (much easier speaker load to drive, better sense of ease)
Best of Luck,
