Having had problems already with Sonos speakers (you can't output sound directly to them from the laptop) and with two hi-fi speakers in my stereo system doing nothing, it made more sense to me to see if they could be hooked up. The focusrite is hooked up through the stereo amplifier. The speakers don't have self power and I think this is the reason the volume has to be increased to about 75% on both the focusrite and the amplifier to approximate real instruments. But I'm happy with the result so far.
