Linn Ninkas aktiv vs. not?

Would like to hear a few comments on whether the aktiv option is really that much better. Could the money be spent better? They sound alright now with a single LK-85 and I imagine the bass goes deeper but what else? Can't do the a-b test where I am so I'd like to hear through others' ears. I keep hearing about crossover inefficiency and heat etc. but that was from the seller.... so..?

Stuart,

You are right, but the 5125 is a 5 x 125 amp for home cinema, quite similar (a bit better) that LK 140's. So 4 are used for the medium and the bass speakers of the espek, while 2250 is used for the treble. There is one left for something else (central speaker for example).

Fair enough. I didn't know. Well if you do go with the espek I'd be interested to know what you think.

One more comment about the test with "tri-activ" Ninka (2250 + 4 channels of a 5125) : if dynamic, bass control are much better, the tone is not good enough (box sound).

I think that it would be better to use espek with smaller amps (2 more ways of a 5125 or a LK140 instead of a 2250).
