11/5 Recent Purchase 9.2.4
So this is my first review of any product ever. Let me start by saying that if you are hesitant to buy this system because maybe you have never heard of this brand, or because of the price let me stop you right there; it really is worth every penny spent on it. The system I got came fully updated with Atmos and DTS:X so no need to go through trying to download the update like I did, it is ready to go already. I initially tried the Samsung Q90R to try out atmos and was less than impressed, and it was really glitchy. So after hours of research, (I never buy anything on a whim), I decided that because I am in an apartment I would try this rather than go full surround sound. This thing had a lot of positive reviews and I can confirm that they are justified. I will address the 2 main negative reviews and get those out of the way. The first one is that it came in not working. Mine came in working fine, the only glitch it had that was that my ATT modem was too close to one of the subs interfering with the signals, I simply put it on top of the sub and that fixed it right away and I have not had a single issue since. To be honest its not just Nakamichi, but every electronic product you can think of has some systems that come defective, no matter if its samsung, apple, or lg. it happens, so get over it, send it back and get a new one. The second criticism I read was that the bass was inadequate for this system and to that I call BS. Im not sure if some people have to give criticism in their reviews but the bass is overwhelming if nothing else.Now to the positive. Bass, “OMG” that’s the only way to describe it. For an apartment its way too much, but there are so many adjustments and you can make to the bass and treble that can balance it out. But to say the bass isn’t that great like some reviews say is just silly. Its almost like some people need something to complain about to make it sound like a “critical review,” but pay no attention to those reviews, the bass is spectacular. Setup takes about an hour or so, but once its set up control is easy. I have an Apple TV 4k, PS4 Pro, and Sony X700 bluray player attached to it, and I have the sound bar plugged in using eArc to an LG Nano9 65 inch TV. I have 2 satellite speakers up by the TV and 2 near my couch which adds great surround sound effect. So far on apple tv i have watch John Wick, Interstellar (that scene with the ocean world is really intense), and Batman Begins. John Wick is done in Dolby Atmos, which sounds amazing and I have been hearing sounds I have never heard in surround sound. But even Interstellar and Batman Begins being in Dolby 5.1 sound great. The sound bar has amazing clarity, especially if your willing to take the time to adjust it to settings you will like. I listen to apple music a lot, heavy bass for hip hop, then take down to more of a clarity setting for 80s rock and it handles both really well. When I watch scrubs (my favorite show), it offers a ton clarity as well.In my personal opinion there is only two drawback and one is minor, the other is a good problem to have. The first is the satellite speakers can be a little lite on sound, which is okay because you will still know they are there, especially in atmos movies, but that is just not enough to take a star away. The second is of course the bass, its not that it is bad, its too good for an apartment so I have yet to fully experiment with it which sucks. So if your gonna get it for an apartment like me that may be a little bit of a let down unless you don’t care about your neighbors lol.Overall this is a great system, the best on the market for “sound bars” if you can call it that. To be honest its really more of a home theater in a box than anything else. It pairs so nicely with the Apple TV 4k which offer by far the largest streaming library of Dolby Atmos/Vision Movies. The only reason I get a 4K bluray player is that I ordered the 4K special edition marvel movies that all now have atmos (which comes in next week!). But honestly everything else can be watch on Apple TV, which if your like me and you love movies than the combination is of the Nakamichi 9.2.4 and the Apple TV 4k should set you up for years to come. Don’t hesitate to get this system, its well worth it I promise.

A Great system with a rough start for me
Upgrading from the LG SP8 Sound Bar + SY8 dedicated Surround speakers, the Nakamichi Shockwafe 7.2.4 Elite immediately outperformed the existing setup in almost every category, which is expected given the price point. I use the system with an LG C1 OLED 55″ and have it connected to several other devices, including a PC and a Karaoke mixer (via optical).Setting up the Shockwafe was straightforward, but that’s when I encountered problems. I was unfortunate to receive a unit with the LEFT SUB+Surround unable to pair with the Soundbar, although the right one worked fine from the start. After many attempts and exhausting all available troubleshooting, I finally contacted Nakamichi Support for advice. They instructed me to perform various checks, try different connection methods, and replace cables, but unfortunately, nothing enabled the LEFT Sub to pair.After all options were exhausted, it was determined that the left SUB needed to be replaced. Complicating matters, the system was shipped outside the United States, and returning the entire SUB would be prohibitively expensive.The Nakamichi support team went above and beyond to resolve the issue, offering to ship only the backplate with the attached amplifier/board/wireless module. As an engineer, I was happy to accept this offer since this type of work is neither new nor complicated for me.They sent the replacement part, I installed it, and the speaker paired immediately, allowing the whole system to operate flawlessly.Generally, I’m more than satisfied with the system’s performance, although switching from one audio standard to another can be a bit sluggish, for example, from DTS:X to ATMOS or vice versa, including the sub-standards. Also, waking up from standby mode, it takes much longer to process the first audio and for the system to play than it did with the LG Bar. Maybe this can improve a bit with some future firmware upgrade. Other than that, the system is great, very powerful with clean and deep bass, especially sounds great with DTS:X, which is my preferred standard, but it also sounds amazing with Dolby ATMOS, which is more widely supported.After a rough start and some correspondence back and forth with Nakamichi Support and their understanding and willingnes to help, the system finally works with full power and glory.Highly Recommended, specially for customers form US .
