Yup, so far I like my Promitheus ref 4 better then any active I've had. Ludimagis makes a good point -- passive by nature doesn't add any gain so you'll need a cd player or source with enough voltage to essentially feed through to your amp.
Things you will likely notice: more transparency and air.
Things you may also notice: less body and weight.
Also make sure that the input impedance of your amp is sufficient, probably at least 50k ohms. More is better, tube amps usually pair well with impedance.
Lastly there is a buttload of info on this..search and ye shall find
