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 have a BAT CD player linked to a UNISON Mystery One pre-amp and a pair of UNISON Smart 845 SE power amps driving
Von Schweikert VR4's. They were not purchased at the same time but seem to work very well together. I did upgrade the tubes in the BAT (Upscale Audio) also the BAT is somewhat power cord sensitive. Fat Man and Fat Boy work best for me.
Good listening,

I have heard from my dealer who sells, both VTL and BAT that they are not perfect mates. However, BAT does match up good with other stuff. I've used Wadia CD players both w/ and w/o bat preamps, with a VK200 and vk60. Currently running a muse 9 sig cd/dvd into a bat vk50se/vk60.

just my take...

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.
