    Is my amplifier compatible with my speakers?

    My gear
    amp: Behringer KM750 that gives 200Watts@8ohm or 400Watts@4ohm
    speakers: 4X12 RECTO SLANT CABINET 240 Watt. 8 Ohm Mono / 4 Ohm Stereo
    It doesn't say(or I don't understand) how many watts are needed for 8 ohm or 4 ohm for the speakers. The specifications just say "combined power capacity 240 watts."
    Can I use this amp to power these speakers? if so should I run 200Watts@8ohm using the single 8ohm input in the cabinet and the 8ohm mode in the amplifier or 400Watts@4ohm using the two 4ohm inputs in the cabinet and the 4ohm mode in the amplifier?
    Last thing I want to do is fry my equipment and I'm okay using mono or stereo sound.
    my chain:
    guitar -> PODHD500x -> km750 -> recto cabinet

    That amp should more than be able to drive that cabinet. It looks like you have a choice of mono/stereo on the speakers and that gives you either 8 or 4 ohms. The amp will drive whatever load it sees.
