Verdict
Yes
The RP-502S II is 8 Ω, and the M7100X is rated for speakers down to 4 Ω, so it drives them as is.
Speaker load
OK
8 Ω speaker, rated down to 4 Ω
Power
90 W
More than you need. About 6 W gives 95 dB peaks at 2 m
How to connect them
- Connect the M7100X's inputs to the pre-outs of your receiver or processor: a power amplifier has no volume control of its own.
- Connect each RP-502S II to one of the M7100X's channels with speaker wire.
Plan the RP-502S II and M7100X in your own room.
Draw your room in 3D, place both, and see every connection checked and how loud they play at your seat. Designing is free.
