Biamping with Linn LK85 and LK140 - any problem?

I have scavenged around and will shortly have a Linn LK85 and an LK140. I plan to biamp passively using the higher powered amp for treble (as is generally advised). Speakers are Tukans, pre is a Kairn. I can't afford to upgrade the 85 to a 140, but am thinking of going active. Is there any problem using differently powered amps, or anything I should be aware of?

Also, has anyone listened to the LK140? I'd very much appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

Always put your best amplifier on the treble ... and the LK140 is a killer amplifier with the best music/price value. I use 2 LK140 in passive with K400 cable, with the AV5103 and IKEMI. Personally I do prefer 2 LK140's to one KLOUT.

I forgot...vote #3 for the LK140 on the treble. It is correct in this format when Aktiv.

Dear KDL,
Go Aktiv as quick as you can. Use only LINN K400 for the biwire. I have tried many others and they do not match/perform as LINN's own. It is a perfect match. My HT system is (5) AKTIV LK85's to (4)Tukans/(1)Trikan with a REL StormIII. It sounds great! If you need a 6' pair, I've got some left over...drop me a line.
Enjoy the music!
