Why do you want to use the 75x2 HK amp when the mixer has a built in amp which is more powerful, and SQ isn't really your concern? And even more importantly, why are you exposing a pair of Mission towers to a likely sonic tragedy?? Those speakers are farthest from 'designed to withstand any form of torture'. Like Sam mentioned, you need a pair of pro speakers. It's nearly a must.

Its the speaker rating, or the power output of the amplifier? In any case,that sure is jumbled up.

When the mixer has a pre-amp out, why do you want to connect the speaker level ouputs to another amp?
