Linn Akurate spks, is Aktiv an improvement?


I have a pair of Akurate 242's that I just got earlier this year as part of a complete Linn system. They are bi-amped passively with two 2250 amps. They can be partially Aktiv on the two bass units to extend the bottom from 49hz to 40hz. I'm wondering if the improvement is subtle or dramatic. For what it costs for another amp & the cards, I would be halfway toward the Klimax preamp! Anyone has any experience with "going Aktiv"?

thanks for the input! of course my dealer says its better, but no way to compare. i appreciate the opinion from a financially-disinterested person who has been there.
they can definitely be run active on bottom & passive on top according to the maunal, the dealer, and linn. thanks.
