If yr gonna take an amplified output and plug em into amps, then yh - dont do it, the amps in yr moniters are exact for the drivers & they want line level.

Most powered mixers Ive seen live have had a 'pre-poweramp' out - grab that for the powered moniters, then run some long speaker cables to yr lounge room with some beefy hi-fi speakers runnin off the mixers amp 8)

Active monitors eat line-level signal.
