is BAT good with non-BAT components?

I have a friend that have an entire BAT system:
BAT VK 60/ BAT VK 5i, CD-player and phono.

He had problems with VTL line2.5 in terms of bass details. He was advised that he had to get an entire line of BAT into his system what he now has.

Had anyone had any problems using BAT products with non-BAT?

What is good combination of BAT and non-BAT components?

I am using BAT VK-50SE with Theta Dreadnaught with great results. No problem whatsoever.

There is nothing wrong with using all BATs. Everything they make is exceptional.

I am using a BAT VK5i SE with Aronov monoblock amps, a Muse 9 Signature digital front end, Linn LP12/Linto analog front end and Sonus Faber speakers. Works like a charm!

I just recently upgraded to a VK50SE preamp (Which blows away my old Sonic Frontiers Line 3) and it matches up beautifully with my Mark Levinson 332 amp and 360S/37 processor/transport. You shouldn't have a problem.

I use a BAT VK3i with Odyssey Stratus amp and have tried
several CD/DVD players and everything sounds great. BAT
makes great stuff! Someday, I'll have a complete BAT
system....someday!

The problem is the VTL preamp. It is not what they are known for. I would highly recommend the VK-50SE preamp for your friend, it is a wonderful piece that matches well with most equipment.
