BAT VK31SE and the VK55

Can anyone tell me if the 31SE preampm will marry up with the 55 amp. Is this apples to apples?

I wouldn't bother with the VK5 because the 5i was an upgrade. I had the 5i at two different times and really liked it. I borrowed a buddies VK-55 for about 3 months and absolutely loved it. Stereophile did a review on the 55 and VK3ix and gave it a very good review. I haven't heard the 3ix but I am sure its a good one.

Due to lifestyle changes I switched over to a VK300xSE integrated, a fine preamp/amp but not as good as the BAT seperates.
