The speakers are active (KRK RP5), so no amp in between them and the audio interface. But since the audio interface should be able to handle it without issue it's not a problem. Additional gear, e.g. a small mixer, would add convenience to my setup, but it's not necessary at this point. Thank you very much for your helpful answers.
