@Poulou welcome to the forum.
The 500W speaker can handle 500Watts of power at an impedance of 8 Ohms.
The HA3500 amplifier can only deliver 240 Watts at 8 Ohms.
The combination will be OK but the amplifier will only be pushed to half it’s capacity. If you want all 500 Watts buy a 500W amplifier.
Enjoy

Not unless you feel you need a head with more wattage. That cab can handle 500w and with the HA3500 head it’s seeing 240w well below it’s maximum rated wattage. If you add an additional 8 ohm cab the combination of the two cabs will produce a 4 ohm load and the amp can then produce it’s full rated output of 350w.
