Bi-Amped Aktiv vs. Tri-amped Aktiv?

I have all Linn gear (except for a Rotel phono stage): Classik, LP-12 and Ninkas biwired. I'm considering going Aktiv, having heard a demo of what Aktiv does for the little Katans. The problem is Katans only have two drivers; Ninkas have three. I can't afford tri-amped aktiv. Will going bi-amped aktiv by getting a 5-channel Linn 5125 cause as dramatic an inprovement in my Ninkas as it did for the Katans? I was blown away by what it did for the Katans.

Where is the bigger jump, passive bi-wired to bi-amped aktiv or biamped aktiv to tri-amped aktiv?

Thanks Kenny, that is the answer I was hoping for! I can afford a 5125; I can't afford three 2250's (or even LK 140's). This seems like the best way to get a big improvement at the least cost. And thank's for the warning about burning them in - it will be stressful enough waiting - worse if you didn't know it would improve.

Thanks!

No problem, you'll love them even more once the cards burn in!

FWIW even my wife (girlfriend at the time) even noticed a huge improvement...so it 'just wasn't me'
