Grab it here: amzn.to/2KrKtsr
So I want to upgrade my old outdated system. I really wanted to go the whole huge surround sound. With the speakers in the wall, speakers in the ceiling, floor speakers and a massive subwoofer. I had a local stereo company come out and cut me a deal there’s gonna be $250 to install everything and then of course to buy all my equipment it’s going to be around $1800. I literally just stumbled across the surroundsound system two days ago it has me super curious. What’s gonna be the huge difference between this and the route I wanted to go spending $1800 on a full home theater system?Am I going to get the real movie affect going my route or if I save some money and get this is it gonna give me the same sound?
just ordered mine online today! can't wait. I also have speaker wire already running through my downstairs walls. I hope to be able to convert them to RCA connections to remove all visible wires
The dogs really influenced me lol
If you want to stream music via WiFi to the system, connect a Raspberry Pi with Kodi via HDMI. Works fine!
Good tip!
Great video man! I need a wireless version.
Samesy
After owning the LG Sj9. I grabbed the 9.2 ln December when it was on sale for$1099. Then an additional $100. Off the price when I noticed the sound bar's grill had a Small dent in it. Other than that the sound of the Nakamichi can get to theatre level with no problems. Clear soundeffects, dialogue is perfect and the surround sound is literally on point. You will get your money worth and more with this system and no regrets either.
brett， we can install that for you
Same here, those wires are deal breaker for me, need wireless system.
Otherwise i would by this system right away.
@@tommi7554 jbl bar 9.1?
Thats not a soundbar!! it's a FULL surround system, just calling the center speaker "soundbar"
Ryu Tsuchiya And the Height Speakers.
And I thought also the Left and Right speakers.
Ryu Tsuchiya Yeah also the Left and Right speakers not just Height and Center is in the Soundbar.
adrian kisaghi And? One day I was on Amazon and searched for a 40" 4k from LG, then I saw a 49" where a new product of the TV was shown under that TV, I clicked on It, and it was a 43" for the same price.
No one can prevent that someone fails in how he makes the System, it can happen, I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be so naive and believe everything what stores throw you on your Display man.
No it not a true surround sound system has dedicated speakers in each location. This does not so get it right so you telling me this can beat my surround sound that I spent over £5000 just for audio 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Harpal Chauhan no but it comes extra close without spending like a fool. Aka $5k. And I only spent 1,100$! 😂😂😂
I want Atmos with HDMI 2.1 and eARC and a Calibration microphone.
jbl 9.1
They need to make the surround speakers wireless ! Was there up firing speakers ?
R u stupid?
I am an audiophile, never heard of that system before but i can tell it is out of this world especially because of the size and weight of the subs (23 lbs each). i would love to have it in my living room.
23 lbs is nothing for that size…
I clicked on this to see a 1000 wt soundbar.... not A 1000 wt surround sound setup.... and I'm guessing I'm not alone, considering its an otherwise well done video, yet only gets 9 to 1 for likes to dislikes. Should be at least 30 to 1.
That's not a sound bar. It's a surround sound system including a soundbar.
The subs actually use wifi @5ghz and if your WiFi is on the same channel the bandwidth of the sound system overtakes your 5ghz WiFi and it slows to a crawl. To fix you have to manually set your 5ghz wifi to a channel outside of whatever 5ghz channels it uses!!!!
You're spreading false information, the subs connect at 5.8GHz so as long as your router is set to auto you'll be fine and it'll keep you at channels that are less congested, just like how people have a ton of bluetooth speakers which are 2.4GHz but their wifi still works fine . Plus it's using the same frequencies as wifi but it isn't wifi, that's like saying a microwave is "using wifi".
Samsung, Vizio, have that issue with the channels. You can get Wifi overview for android and look the channels.
Watched the whole thing. Perfectly explained everything thank you.
lol full surround system and you have cables everywhere and cables hanging from your tv what a mess
Only reason I haven't purchased. I want something wireless but not sure what can compare to this thats out there right now..
Uhm they doing demo? Not final set
I GOT LUCKY! I GOT ONE FROM A WHITE VAN AT 250! But they MADE ME A DEAL FOR WHATEVER I HAD...175.25! IMMA GENIUS!
😂
Free candy too?
@@paint3ball fuck'n hilarious..
Are you making money from youtube to live in such a great house? Fantastic!
ITS NOT A SOUNDBAR!!!!!!
A BAR IS A BAR
As soon as it has sub and or extra speakers it s a system WITH a bar
Exactly mi amigo...esto no es una soundbar..
industry wide standard terminology refutes your contention it is not a soundbar.
Nakamichi speakers are garbage. And I'm not paid for this review!
I brought this sound bar due to the high reviews it got. After using it I would say the reviews are way overly positive. Either everyone has very low expectations or they have never heard a quality system. I guess if u are going from an ipod to this this is a great system. But if you have something to compare this system (like Bose) with than there are a lot of shortcomings that does not demand this price. The followings are some of the issues I found with the 7.2.4 system after 2 weeks of usage:
1. The system is present to turn on at volume 45, need to load patch to fix.
2. The sound system logic is very basic, nothing compares to a full fledge sound amplifier that provide much much more audio detail. This system lacks any directional audio detail.
3. You can bearly hear anything out of the rear speakers, they are only ON about 5% of the time.
4. The sound producted from the system is just loud with very very minimal surround sound detail. 2d audio vs 3d audio
5. The connection wire for the rear speakers are very thin, it's about 3mm thick. I guess it doesn't matter because no audio comes out of it anyway.
6. The speaker setting display is on the center soundbar behind a grill, display in pixel led. You will not be able to see the display if you are more than 5-8ft away. For the price they couldn't create an on screen display? Useless
7. The Audio sounds like you are in a tunnel, I guess thats what they think 5.1 should sound like.
8. The speaker will sometime pop as you traverse through Netflix selections.
9. There is a 5 second delay in Netflix after a selection before sound comes out of the speakers.
10. The solution for the slow processing speed for the volume control is to have the volume selection slip every other number. So, the volume control is only usable by 2 digit increments. 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. So if u think 7 is just right too bad that is not available. Super dumb!
11. The inwall screw anchor is one size too large. There is a great chance the screws could pop out. You should insert an additional anchor into the one provided.
12. The sound level fluctuates.
13. The HDMI cables that came with it are garbage. For a grand, I would think they could spend $10 bucks for a better cable. I guess milk you once since they know you won't buy again. Smart business.
14. The location of the HDMI plugs are brainless. This is a sound bar that will be mounted on the wall below the TV. But the placement of the HDMI plugs are at the back of the unit not even facing up. Little thought was put in to design this system.
I just did all the work for them on version 3.0 for free.
Overall, this system didn't meet my expectation and the brand quality of Nikamichi. Will come back if I find anything else.
Please give me a thumbs up if this was helpful.
Update (April 2021) - These speakers are garbage. I just can't express how much I hate these speaker. Over price junk. It has so much problems that it should be considered Beta speakers. Today the soundbar just started to automatically turnoff every 20 mins. I guess it because it decided to put itself on standby mode. I spent 2 hours and still cant find out how to turn that off. JUNK!
(JAN2022) - I had to come back here to provide another update. I thought I could get use to the system after some time. But one can never get use to garbage because it just get more disgusting over time. This sound bar is beyond the ability to describe. If you pay over $200 for this system you are over paying. That is why you see so many people trying to dump this garbage. I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit for the grief this system cause! Please save yourself the agony and buy something else.
(Jan2022) - Now the speaker is acting up. The eARC is not detecting apple TV. Must unplug and reply again. This has happened many many times. Can't express how much these speakers are garbage
(May2022) - Now I have no idea what is wrong with the speakers. When I turn it one it does not go to the last set values. Not I have to set it every time. Also the unit is running slower. I haven't heard much from the rear speakers for months. I'm really tired of these speakers. I know why people are selling them. I just wish the company would take this junk back.
(JUN2022) - just watched the new star wars show with the speakers. The show has ATMOS. You wouldn't be able tell with this audio system. 99% of the time it's only the sound bar that is running. I think the logic chip junk and is unable to process any of the audio correctly. $1000 for this system is ridiculous, when a $100 system would sound better.
I appreciate you taking the time to write this detailed opinion and if you think Bose is better than this, then that tells me absolutely everything I need to know!
@@totalplonker824 any system is better than this. This unit has Endless amount of issues.
cute dogs
If anyone has problems with setup please go to Martin Middleton channel. He explains a little more detail about issues with this system. Ask questions. He is geek squad without the geek. 🤣🤣🤣 really though like his video. 👍🏽
I can’t find the 9.2 version anywhere! Not even amazon :(
They sold out I guess. It's happened before I think. I'm sure they'll come back in stock soon.
I ordered mine through Best Buy...you'd have to order it then they send it to your house or nearest store
go to the Nakamichi facebook page they state that it should be available again really soon. I submitted my email for udates when available.
i got it on ebay, they do international shipping
It’s on amazon rn
want to know, how does it respond when LISTENING to music? How to play Audio without using connected television? Does it have any usb port ?
I just got the 2019 9.2.4 with SSE last week and it is AMAZING! I've got to get some new speaker stands because my old set is garbage. I'm going to order the Atlantic set that you have.
Spammer
How are they ? How is the bass ? Powerfull ? Waiting for your reply . Thank you !!
rhadooathos the bass will shake your house and your windows, you will feel the vibrations even when you walk away from the tv, i have one and i cant even turn the volume up to 50, the bass can be heard downstairs (i live in apartment)
Pianist7137 Gaming i’ll buy one in march . Can’t wait !! :D
@@rhadooathos I got it for $999 usd on ebay (official nakamichi store) during black friday. so if you want a discount it should be around that price when their next sale comes on :D
So it’s not just a soundbar, it’s a sound bar + 4 speakers & two subwoofers. Only difference is that you don’t have a receiver. The “receiver” and the center channel are one.
Awesome video. I’ve been intrigued by this system since your video 2 years ago. At that time, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision was off the table. I currently have a Samsung K950 Dolby Atmos system, and while its great, this is much better on paper with more speakers and two subs.
Dee Jimenez nope 👎🏻
I also have the k950, and To be honest if you want anything better I would recommend building yourself a true surround sound with a good receiver. That’s what I plan on doing once the wife and I move houses.
@@Studpum a sound bar Is really good, easy to set up, and cheaper in most situations. My thing was that it wasnt immersive. Right now I'm running a sony receiver with klipsch speakers and its amazing. If you want to save some money I do recommend going with klipsch because there very sensitive to frequency so you can save a lil money on an avr. Just letting you know that it is VERY expensive depending on what you want.
Great video. One question that I just want to confirm. Does this soundbar (or the cheaper variants 7.1.4 or 7.2.4) natively support eARC? or it is supported firmware upgrade? will that (eARC support via firmware) be any issue compared to a soundbar that has native eARC support (the one that comes with out-of-the-box eARC support without needing any firmware)?
Not earc and no plans for firmware updates
I can only laugh at people who think this is good quality sound. We actually carried these as a Amazon vendor for a while and I had one in my home for a while. Its bad.... really bad. Cheap lightweight plastic, the "supercharged" subs are 1/4 " coated plyboard with cheap woofers. They are awful, boomy slow and sloppy. The center channel on these is tinny and hallow. There is no front sound field L R separation. The Atmos affect is unnoticeable and the satellite speakers like the soundbar are cheap cheap cheap. The overall sound quality is like a boom box , it goes loud but sounds like crap. This product is designed for people who know nothing about audio. Its flashy and they market it with a bunch of made up terms , perfect bait for idiots. My Yamaha YSP-3000 sound projector from 2009 paired with a real subwoofer absolutely destroys this system. None of these slim bars are worth a damn. You cannot cram tiny drivers into tiny slim enclosures and expect good sound quality. It cannot work. Also all of them come with pathetic subwoofers, worse than a $100 powered home theater subwoofer.
Great Video. What kind of HDTV do you have connected. I’m asking because I have the EXACT SAME NAKAMICHI 9.2.4 speaker Bar Setup. I’m getting ready to connect it to LG OLED 65” c9 HDTV in my MAN CAVE. OUR HOUSE BURNED TO THE GROUND AND I LOST EVERY LAST PIECE OF PROPERTY I OWNED AND TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY BACK IN THE NEW REBUILT HOUSE. THE PAINT COLOR OF YOUR ROOM IS PRECISELY-EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY COLOR GREY. DO YOU STILL LIKE YOUR SPEAKERS? Any tips, tricks, or ideas for me to watch for? Thanks so much and continued success with speakers. I can’t wait to hook mine up.

Damn wtf this comment is all over the place.
At 0:57 I see the remote... that is a button for button replica of the ONKYO TX-SR313 remote ...
Too Many Cables, Maybe Next Year 2020.
Don't get me wrong. This is a great product but I thought soundbars were supposed to replace multiple speaker systems to get great sound from a small package and to supplement the tv's speaker which are horrible most times. But this system has wires and surround speakers which seems kinda counter productive. But I like the product nonetheless
You need a bigger tv and you will have a full on movie theater
More power than my onkyo 7.2.4 tannoy speakers which cost combined over 2k ,I'm pissing myself here loooooool 1000w haahahahaha get the pc and mix out and prove it!!!!!
Shaun Davids Y tho
Can we get updated review?
System Test at 8:30
thank you!
Only SHIT SHOW Is the wires, they gotta make the speakers detached from the sub. that is nuts.
Hi where did you get the sound clips to listen to your surround sound system... Crickets etc? (Dolby Atmos)
Great review. I'm getting the new 2022 system today. Can't wait thanks
My New Samsung Q90 7.1.4 is pretty awesome it has wifi but I would like to have 2 sub woofers . The Dolby Atmos on the Q90 is Freaking awesome. The BASS is good but it could be better. I have been wanting to try this one you have for a while.
Do you experience interruptions between soundbar and sub+rear satellites? Do you have q90-r at the last update?
My brother owns 9.2.4 sse damn its loud and bass really good. Plus setup the speakers placements plus calibrate it those samsung and others are just a regular speakers now i know why this soundbar won the competition beating Sonos, LG and bose.
The Cables they provided are kinda weak AF. it could be better with 14 or 12 awg speaker cables....
Def need one of these my soundbar is only 100 watts Thanks JIP!
I'll have to stick with my ancient Bose Cinemate GSII system for now. Don't have $1300 to drop on more speakers. We've got 18 speakers throughout the house as it is. My wife would kill me. 😂😂
I just purchased the Bose Cinemate 130. Facebook marketplace for 200 bucks. Originally sold for 1500 at best buy. The quality richness and action pumping bass is incredible not to mention the phase guide radiators throw sounds around you as if there are speakers surrounding you. It blows my previous 5.1 separate speaker surround sound away.
How would you compare your Bose Cinemate GSII. I know the Cinemate 130's acoustimass is smaller than the GSII, have your heard the difference between the two?
How do you like your system, I am looking to purchase another used system for my kids game room?
@@nephi30 I haven't heard the 130. 10 years ago I had a first generation Cinemate system and thought it sounded kind of flat, so I ran it thru an equalizer and it really helped a lot.
Now, I have the GS II and it sounds much better than the original. No EQ required. I got it off eBay. $300 shipped in pristine condition. Shipped in original box, with all paperwork and manuals. Plus, they thru in a $200 set of floor stands to boot. I hit the Jackpot!😊
Does
sub-woofer port has an internal gain control?
You gotta do something about the likely unleveled panels in the back man.
Can you adjust the bass and the subwoofer independently of each other
I just bought the 9.2.4 version how to I hook my ps5 up too it?
Don't buy This bunch of crap cut off 3 times Had to send it back
Have you considered trying the Sonos Arc system? I'd like to see a review the way you do them on that system.
I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO GET WIFI. VERY IMPORTANT
Me too
Can you do a Nakamichi firmware update video? I would love to see a how-to
go to Nakamichi website www.helpdesk.nakamichi-usa.com/shockwafe-firmware-upgrade and they have simple step by step instructions.
Honest review:
Kids and dogs won't lie!!!!
Waiting for this to get launched in India ....not sure if they have any plans
Does it sound good on music when using Bluetooth
Did he just seriously say get someone to help you lift 22 lbs!? lol
jakefalcons Im shocked.. why would you need help to lift 22 lbs?
*drools uncontrollably* I gotta get these...
Not available india
OMG, I just order mine and was waiting for it to arrive and just realize how FREAKING HUGE the sub woofers are WTF???
I hear you. Those are side tables not subwoofers...LOL
How is it now?
Of course its a 12 inch subs lol...
Subwoofers move volumes of air...they need to be big. Can't have a 3 inch subwoofer.
Waiting to see what the Klipsh Bar54A offers before i purchase this soundbar.
The red cube on the left is crooked 😭👨💻
You could probably use those sub woofers as end tables too.
1000 watts but terrible quality.
Your son at the back is so damn cute! Looks like my nephew. And the puppy! Dang, hella cute. Cuteness overflow. And great review too, I love my 7.2 Nakamichi system, but yeah too many bugs, hope 3.3 firmware expected this week fixes the bugs.
No Audio auto setup ? For $ 1300.00 it should have automatic setup ! I will wait for a step up model . :)
Pedro D Rodriguez Sr I'm guessing the Nakamichi is more user-friendly an audiophile would not be impressed with the lack of features and audio adjustment. Just guessing I think it is a cheaper version of Auro3d
This guy does great content and he has the absolutely best ankle socks on RUclips , cheers bro …!
You haven't tried BOSE
the 9.2.4 is on sale till black friday 999.99 I just bought 1
How you liking it?

Yo dude love that hidden wire on the right
I did not get that user manual
Nakamichi made in china
Sorry guys, but how can someone sell this device as a soundbar when you have a 5 speaker setup? A soundbar is 1 piece, maybe with an additional subwoofer. That's it!
ask every other manufacturer out there that sells soundbars with satellite speakers and/or subs. it's a soundbar, because the soundbar encodes, processes, decodes plus has speakers and whatever other features such as bluetooth, etc.
I love my 9.2 system bought from 2018. When I got it didnt have atmos upgrade yet, volume wasn't to loud.but as soon as it came out and I down loaded it to sound bar,unbelievable loud...love this
That's true I have 2.
How did you download upgrade?
@@mikejames9624 go to Nakamichi website with USB stick downloads drivers. Put USB stick on soundbar and follow directions.
Cool thanks
Are the speakers wireless if not how do you hide them so there is no clutter
Zhanayah Nana I just got a thin white molding from Home Depot that’s peel and stick and ran the wires thru that!! Simple and can’t even notice it!!
CRAZY! BUT watching this and other reviews of this NAK SBar+ - it appears to me that it would be much more exciting/enjoyable than my present 5.1.2 Atmos setup with a Denon X3400H at it's heart....I do have a BIG Rich sound, but I miss not having more Surround SOUND[s]. Some would say I am BONKERS to even consider this SB over my present setup.....BUT......I AM! WHAT do U think of that? HATE to think about selling all of these speakers etc. though.
I think your mad sir, and you would quickly regret it
You would def regret it....
@@jeremymorales8951 U guys are/were right, the other day i stumbled into some Dolby AAtmos demos on U Tube......my mobile home was ready to lift off....talk about 3D Sound!!! I'm staying w what i've got!
How long are the rca cables?
Great video! I agree the speakers should be wireless to eliminate the wires across the floor. Great job!
You have to use two to four double D battery every time you use that...woth 4 speakers that be nonsense!
does this have eARC and hdmi 2.1?
No
Give that set 1kw rms and see magic...
Did you just say… If it takes two people to pick up a 23 pound subwoofer! Are people having their six-year-old children unpack their audio equipment?! If you’re a full-grown adult and need help lifting 23 pounds you better book an appointment with your doctor immediately because something is seriously wrong!
I know this video is old, but I was re-watching it because I think I am finally ready to pull the trigger on buying one. However, you mention you wish that all the speakers were wireless/wifi, but also that it takes up 3 plugs. If all 4 of the satellite speakers were wireless, you'd then have it taking up 7 plugs. So it's a trade off, and likely why they chose to power 2 of the surround speakers off of each subwoofer. It would also require that each satellite speaker had a built in amplifier and DAC, adding more cost, and complexity to it. The only other way to accomplish a truly wireless experience would be with batteries that you'd have to charge every so often, which again will create more complexity and probably lead to user frustration, who wants all of their speaker batteries to die while watching a movie? I think this is a great review, and I'm very likely going to pick up this soundbar within the next month or two, but just thought I'd share why it's not 100% wireless...
Too many damn wires!
Hi sir I in dubai I want buy this 9.2.4 ultra but where is nakamichi showroom in dubai (uae) searching continue 🤔 but not find out plz give me location
Having multiple HDMIs is pretty legit. Cool video man!
This is without a doubt the most horrible surround setup I have ever seen... do some research on these systems next time before reviewing and setting it up incorrectly
Because of your video, I invested in the new Nakamichi Shockwaf 0.2.4 eARC!
Hopefully that you will do more tips on the system . Thanks, its AWSOME!!!!!
will this work in a small 700 sq ft apartment
Scott Brady it’ll work anywhere, but might be overkill for such a small space
Next time show unboxing show what it looks like in box then unbox in no way did u feel that you did justice to this product of showing it off, talking to much and not getting to it look at your peers for advice to make better videos
This is a product with million faults and is very sensitive. Within a year, I had to replace the sound bar and now sub-woofer is giving up on me and that's with moderate use. Calling support, they keep running you in endless troubleshooting loops. They make you waste countless hours in troubleshooting and almost always have a way to blame everything on interference even if you are running this in a freaking faraday cage. Wish I had not chosen this product. Go for anything but Nakamichi.
Can you either pair or hook up a desktop computer to this soundbar? What is the best way to set up Directv with this soundbar? You mention music; is there away to pair a smartphone to this soundbar; or other audio systems? I presently own an Panasonic SA - BT300 blu-ray disc theater. It's done me well, but am looking for something more up to date. Hopefully this soundbar may be the one.
Sorry mate I don't want Boxes ,wires, Subwoofers , stands all around me . I don't see the point. I would rather buy the Senniher Ambeo soundbar. All in one. Nakamichi what ever not for me.
Hi mate, that looks awesome, I have a Samsung Q90R soundbar with just the sub , it also has 2 upfiring rears. It's a 7.1.2
How would it rate vs this beast you running? Would it be worth getting rid of the Q90 and to get one of these? I must say , the thought of having 2 subs , rather than one is very mouth watering, However the Q90R sound bar does have great sound with both atmos upfires and dtsx. But sometimes the bass sounds phenomenal, but sometimes on occasions when I listen to music , it seems like a lack of bass , that has occurred with some movies also , and I do have the bass turned up as high as it could go, so do you think it be worth the upgrade? I run the bar with a 75" Samsung tv
Can you add bass shakers and an amp to this?
Nope
What if we want to connect speakers to projector ? Will there be any difference ? Also, does it have hdmi for firestick to be plugged in ?
I like the second dog on the sofa... He didnt move at all :))) but other dog were really curious about where the sound is coming from.... nice video man... but unfortunately Nakamichi is unknown company in EU becuase they only try to sell through amazon US which add in cost for the cargo + tax... So like me people not able to get that....
Hey Jimmy, I wanna pull the trigger on this sound bar but i have one major question I can't find anywhere and your set up might help.... So how far away can the subwoofer be from the sound bar without any lag or delay, my room requires the subwoofer to be 12-13 feet away from the sound bar is this an issue or not a problem? I checked out the website and all it says is to have the subwoofer close to the tv for better performance but doesn't show any distance noted? Please help me out thanks so much! Also I know the side speakers are wired so that isn't a problem just the subs from the bar.
How is it 9 channels? I see seven. Front left, front right, surround left, surround right, back left, back right, center. Plus two subs and four up-firing "Atmos" speakers I guess? Seems like 7.2.4 Build your own system people. Guaranteed you could get a better system for less. If you're going to use up firing speakers, make sure they're separate of the other speakers so you can adjust the angle to get them to reflect to the perfect position. Otherwise they're not worth a damn at all. You won't even know what you're missing out on.
Any reason why this is no longer available at best buy or even amazon? Are they soon to release a updated model? Thanks for the video
Sounds like a awesome system, would love to have one but my only complaint is how ugly those surround speakers look. Why did they have to make them ugly like that? Why not normal box speaker instead of that weirdo shape, it just throws it off for the whole system. Sad.
It seems to me you are sitting in the wrong place for a true atmos and true surround field? And you have a lot of space behind you but i dont see any speakers. That would greatly benefit the dynamic sound field. Isny much sound lost or echoing due to ceilings and size of this room. I would put 2 height speakers behind the soda as high as possible and 2 between tv and soda(or 4 high up). Subs on either side and soundbar where its now. And use a audyssey setup to balance the sound and sound field. The sound would likely be even better
Very good review of the product..thanks dude.
how long is the cables to connect satelites to sub?
dolby atmos with a soundbar and vaulted ceilings haha yea ok. nothing beats discrete speakers for atmos. atmos soundbars are a gimmick but hey its easy to setup so thats a plus right.
What makes you say this system does not have discrete speakers? The system has 9 discrete surround channels, plus 2 sub channels, plus 4 height channels. Just because the Nakamichi houses Front Left, Center, and Right channels in one case (e.g. the soundbar), does not mean they are not discrete channels.
Explain how Atmos soundbars are gimmicks? Not everyone has the ability/capability to have a dedicated theater room for a real Atmos cinema. Moreover, even if you have complete separate front end electronics and speakers, that doesn't guarantee any better sound than the Nakamichi. I would like to know what sub $2k separates system can match or come close to the Nak.
