Is 275w root mean squared speaker can be use in 120w root mean squared amplifier 4ohms?

Yes. The "275W" is the maximum power that the speaker can handle at its input.
The "120W" is the maximum undistorted power that the amp can deliver in the loud
spots with the volume wide open. So the amplifier will never overdrive the speaker.
The impedances of the speaker and amp-output should match. If one of them is
marked "4 ohms", then they both should be. If they're not the same, then . . .
-- the speaker may not sound as 'crisp' as it should.
-- the amplifier may not deliver as much undistorted power as it should.
-- the amplifier may not run as cool as it should.
-- with an extreme mismatch and extended loud spots played at high volume,
the amplifier may even be damaged.

How many watts is my 120W RMS at 5 percent THD 4 ohms 120 VAC amplifier?
I know that it is 120W "RMS" (which I've been told that is an erroneous term) but there is another kind of watt. I don't know how it is called. The kind that stereos use in stores.

What size audio amplifier will you need to buy to power four 60 watts speakers 8 ohms impedance Frequency Response 120 Hz - 20 kHz?
There are several ways to drive four speakers. For simplicity, this answer assumes that the amplifier will be a two channel stereo amplifier - one channel for left and one for right hand channels. It also assumes that the speakers will be connected in parallel, that is, both positive terminals wired together and both negative terminals together. The two speakers together will be the equivalent of a four ohm speaker. First, make sure the amplifier is rated to drive four ohms to both the left and the right speaker. Most amplifiers will handle a four ohm load but some are aonly designed for eight ohms. The manual will tell you what the amplifier can handle. The speakers can handle up to 120 Watts per channel when two are used together. To fully drive the speakers, an amplifier of 120W per channel will be needed. However, that is the worst possible size of amplifier to use if you are going to run the system near its peak power output. Here's why: Speakers are able to cope much more power than their rated power. The sound will be terrible but generally, the speakers will not be damaged. Speakers can also cope with a distorted signal from an amplifier as long as the power level is a lot less than the rated speaker power. However, overdrive the amplifier when it is delivering the full power rating of the speaker and the high power distortion is very likely to cause damage to the speaker. The choice of amplifier should either be higher or lower than the speaker rating. A 30W per channel amplifier will still have a great deal of power to offer and the output will be far louder than most people would ever want in a living room. If the amplifier is over-driven, the low power level avoid speaker damage. A 200W per channel amplifier will drive the speakers harder but with a clean signal. If you want to run the speakers close to their maximum level, choose an amplifier of this power output or higher. A note about power levels: True power output is always measured as an RMS figure. Music power is approximately twice RMS power and peak music power is about twice the level of music power. Therefore, if the speakers are rated at 60W peak music power, they actually have a rating of just 15 Watts RMS. When comparing amplifiers and speakers, always make sure you use the same units, RMS, Music or Peak Music. Never mix them.
