Had mine for 2 years now and love every bit of it!

I've had my Nakamichi 7.2.4 for over a year paired with my LG 55" C9 OLED. I later upgraded to the LG 77" C1 and Panasonic DP-UB820. I haven't been disappointing in sound quality, clarity, and the wide range of adjustments to maximize sound from any cable or streaming source. I don't do music streaming and like the remote for quick changes compared to using a smartphone App. The only quirks is it takes around 5 seconds to sync the sound when you first turn on (not instant) and lip sync is off by tiny bit I can't adjust on the TV or soundbar when watching cable. The lip sync issue is one of those most will not notice (but once seen, it is hard to un-see).

I am looking very forward to your feelings about the bass this puts out!

[Chase.Charli]

How do you compare this system to the SONOS ARC w/ SUB? Do you like the sound so far? I have the Shockwafe Elite. Just got it few days ago.

[anthonynaparala]

The question I have is could a person mount the satellites to the ceiling? It would lead to a cleaner look to my movie area. Just got our 86” TV set up and am looking for a decent sound system and Nakamichi keeps coming to mind

[russellpeterson]

All this seems complicated. Love the boxy look of those subs. :-)

[charliekim]

I had this system but had to return it. Rear speakers and subs would keep disconnecting or not connect at all. Glad I replaced it with Samsung HW Q950A. Few hundred cheaper too.

Just got this system do u know why my Xbox won't play dolby vision I have the TV in the arc and the Xbox in the bar only plays hdr 10 but the Xbox says vision is supported

And I’m here still using my Second maybe third hand Yamaha YSP-4100

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 Nakamichi 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 surprised there is a class action lawsuit for the grief this system cause! Please save yourself the agony and buy something else.

What do I have to do to have you send me that Atmos demo disc? Anything but the 8 ordeals lol. Good unboxing vid btw.

[HoundDogMech]

Can I mix Dolby Atmos 9.2.4 audio, in Davinci Resolve Studio 17.2.? with Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4Ch 1000W Soundbar System with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and be able to rout and see the individual channels in the Preferences / Audio / Speaker set up of Davinci Resolve Studio 17.2.2?

[manitgupta]

Is it any better than the lg sn11rg, samsung q950t or jbl bar 9.1 ???

[loveforyou]

Hey Daniel, I just sent you an email and wanted to be sure you received it. It came from Rey. If you didn’t get it please let me know. My company is interested in hiring you to produce videos and would even consider buying your channel with the option of hiring you to produce videos for the channel. Let’s talk!

[HoundDogMech]

That NO upward firing speakers worries me. Also to use this to it's full extent I understand that I must have a Atmos ready HDTV too? Is this true?

[TJKCreative]

And I also just upgraded from the vizio 5.1.4

[mohitjoshi]

Hi Daniel, request a review on Harman Kardon Citation soundbar🙏🏼

[rodneyhenry]

[clou]

No eARC happy I did not picked that one. Wires wires wires. That brand is no more a Japan brand it’s owned by Chinese now.

[Zoranurai]

In a year you’ll probably have a shed full of soundbars
