A few months ago I was thinking of upgrading my current amp Nord One SE UP NC500DM Stereo to MKII (Revision D) but now I'm considering NC1200 as I'm sure my speakers need that extra power, especially as I do like to play quite loud at times.
I've read the review of the NC1200 on this website and from what I can make out it's a very good amplifier.
I currently have the bass level on the W11s at +1 but does the W11 only go into 2ohms when +2 is used (perhaps someone on here know the answer? I've emailed Boenicke but not had a reply yet.)?
The only difference between the two amps is the 1200 watts produced at 2ohms, but if my speakers will not be going into 2ohms will it be a waste of time getting the NC1200?
If the speakers dip to say 3ohms, will this extra power of 1200 watts make a difference? Will I be using it?
I can afford to get the 'Signature' but do I really need all those extras? Any thoughts on this? Will getting the cheaper model still perform very well?
I'm also not sure about which Op Amp to choose.
At the moment I have the Sonic Imagery 994 installed.
I have this mains power cable connected to my Nord One SE UP NC500DM Stereo. I'm wondering if it will be alright for the NC1200?

I don't understand how amplifiers/speakers operate so any help will be greatly appreciated.
