Quality Linn Artikulat speakers?

Linn has not so long ago introduced the Artikular loudspeakers. They can be operated fully active with internal amplifiers, which appeals to me for the compactness of the entire setup. Passive operation is also possible. Has anyone listened to these speakers?

I wonder what your experience is and how do the passive/active modes compare? Since the loudspeakers are 4-way and 5-way systems, a fully active system requires many amplifier channels. I wonder whether this is worth the higher price?

Thanks for posting your experiences.

I've heard them the last 2 years @ CES in their (Linn's) suite. Both 5-channel configuration and 2-channel setup, with the smaller and larger versions of the speakers including the stand-mount ones. It was VERY nice. Active is the way to go, as with all things LINN. The fit and finish on them is immaculate. If you can afford them, they have few equals, really.
