You still need either a separate power amp, or powered mixer to power your passive speakers.
There is no difference between using an output from a powered mixer or a passive mixer for recording in my opinion...that said, in this day and age, unless you are going to go full out on recording gear, you'll probably opt for something like my Tascam DP-01FX that has everything self contained anyway.....I don't use any of my live setup (except for my mics) when I record.

So if I go with a powered mixer and speakers why would I need a preamp, wouldn't the mixer do everything the preamp would do?
