I don't own a HK setup myself but considering the vast difference in sound quality from the OEM module to the BM24 one, this should result in better sound quality when paired with the HK.
I guess it depends on how the HK amp 'loads' the input - if it 'pretends' to be a 4 ohm speaker then the sound quality will indeed benefit. If it's 'unweighted' the Philips unit may well be adequate, as there will be very little load presented.

Worth a try, as the BM24 is certainly a very good improvement.
