  • 3-4K grade system for less.
First, allow me to explain that I am more than an audiophile. I produce/DJ/Audio Engineer and sound design. This review stems from my professional background of nearly 20 years in a non-treated room (since most consumers do not do so, a fair study would be done how the average consumer listens). I am currently limited in space and needed a solution for my family and me to bring the theater here without taking away from my studio budget for the upcoming upgrades. I glanced at Image Dynamics at first but then stumbled upon this soundbar which is more like a home theater than a sound bar when I saw the name... Nakamichi and I grew up with one of the outstanding tape decks. I had to try and was at first going to purchase the 7.2, but then I could not resist the 9.2 when I discovered it was in production. 9.2 channels for.a sound bar are unheard anywhere and especially at this price point with this setup! I ordered the system, and the big box came. I unpacked it which took a bit because it was packaged so well. The box is heavy so, unless you are me, you will need two people incl yourself to carry it. The quality of the system is near flawless with two subs being wood! Wood is the best for bass, and I like 10-inch subs for clean, tight bass unlike 12 and above. Unfortunately, to keep the costs down, the system is supplied with cheap RCA cables. I swapped mine out with a custom pair from Worlds Best Cables (Amazon) Canare star quad from Amphenol which made a world of a difference, and I achieved increased density and more air (high-end openness) with a couple of new decibels. The system took about 30 mins to hook up. I first tried di-pole mode and initially was not too impressed with my medium sized room. Speaking of which room size matters with this beast and you will want to consider treating your room for acoustics with it (make sure you only deal with the ceiling minimally). The product shines in its 9.2 setups with at least 6 feet of distance from the satellites and 9-11 feet from the soundbar, and the subs may be placed behind you, but I would encourage them off to the side at a distance of 9 feet. DTS:X neural works pretty good minus at times with whatever device you use (like the Nvidia shield tv) where it does not always upmix to 9.2 but when it does, it is immersive with everything flying around and over you. The system does decode everything else pretty well including Dolby Atmos when using DTS:X neural (pure direct button to turn off to activate it).I demoed a lot of movies from IT to XXX (Xander cage) to Independence Day 1 with the DSP movie setting and without. Without any DSP you can achieve the rated specs without distortion but with the DSP on the bass at times is too powerful (nature of how the movie is mastered) and creates a lot standing waves and reflections in spaces that not necessary. I feel there is not much headroom needed for the subs and that they should be 300 instead of 200 because with music and movies the subs pop with the bass level set at anything above two. There are also some time alignment issues (a delay between explosions), and I wish there a way to adjust the parameters of the subs or even a limiter/compressor to prevent the popping. I hope Nakamichi in the future considers consumers are allowing a wired option since nothing beats a cable to the speakers! Also, a different connection could be found for some maniacs who want to integrate this bad boy into their current setup that may use XLR connections (oppo blurry even). Here are things I like: Great immersive experience and sound quality that commands you to pay more than the asking price. Clean bass that is tight and replaces transducer (buttkicker) Great dialogue clarity Handles 4K content wonderfully and source switching with CEC is incredible. Good selection of output options. Loud as hell and beyond theatrical, I stopped going to the movies because of this thing. It is CHEAP IN PRICE! Your family will love it, treat your room! Ok for small rooms (13x13, nothing less) The CEO is fantastic and I admire his and the company’s customer service. What I do not like I replaced a dead rear speaker, QC needs to be on top of this. Music EQ is worthless and unintelligent. I would like to have my EQ options instead of presets. I do not master music with presets! Subwoofers are the only the speakers to distort with a pop sound at any bass level above 2. It should have a soft limiter/compressor. Cheap RCA wires but this is my personal preference No subwoofer options available other than bass level. Where is the low pass filter? The crossover? Phase? Individual sub levels? No option for wired connections for the subs. Qualcomm Apt-X technology will never replace a wire connection. XLR/Neutrik should be made available to analog guys like me. Hi-Res? Perhaps a way to calibrate the speakers, in general, would be a great idea? I do admit that despite some of the limitations, I would not change my purchase decision except for an upgrade from Nakamichi. There is some room for the company to explore for future sound bars but they nailed it with this one given that they just started making sound bars. They should stick to soundbars because the systems are just that good! Forget the other brands like Trident, image dynamics, Bowers and Wilkins, and Bose (haha do not get me started with them!). Buy this thing and treat your room and decouple (float) your subs from the floor, get some good RCA cable from worlds best cables and a 48 gig HDMI cable.... prepared to be rocked! ... show more

  • Nakamichi Shockwafe Elite 7.2.4Ch review (About as good as you can get for a consumer sound bar)
Color: Black Style: Elite 7.2 DTS-X/Atmos
If you want anything better than this, don't get a sound bar. Who is this for? - Movie watchers who enjoy being "enveloped" in the movie at close to theater level loudness, - Mixed content consumers (Youtube, hulu etc.) - Casual music listeners - Gamers who want explosions to rattle them Who is this not for: - Anyone who lives in an apartment (Unless you're in VERY good with the neighbors) - Audio purists, Serious music listeners Speaker System reviews are highly subjective and audio listening experience varies drastically on several factors including environment ( a room and all objects in the room have resonate and reflective frequencies just like different materials reflect different colors of light), sound signature preferences and source material. I'm just stating my personal opinion and experience. Overall Rating A- ( For the purpose ) Sub-woofers: Overall rating: B+ Sub-bass 0-50hz: C ( Usually low rumbling or just shaking, often not even audible, thuds, explosion aftershock ) Bass: A+ (Drum beats, explosion rattle ) Mid Bass: C ( Low end of male vocals usually, deep non bass instruments) Let's start off with bass first since most people looking to buy this product probably want to know about this most (especially with the two sub-woofers). I purposely chose the dual 8 inch sub model because I thought that it would help round off the listening experience versus the 10inch model and it's less expensive as a bonus. Most sound bars suffer from mid bass drop off due to the driver size in the sound bar. The sound bars typically have less than 4" drivers, while Mid bass drivers sound best around 5.5" to 6.5". To me there is a "Golden sound" to speaker systems and it does involve a significant amount of mid bass. This is the type of sound signature that really shines in tracks like 1979 by the smashing pumpkins and Everlong by Foo Fighers. While the sub drivers to kind of help with the mid bass issue, it's not a cure-all, it can cause a confusing sound stage having part of the vocals come from one area and the rest from another. Mid bass is tricky to get perfect. Listening on quality studio or standing floor speakers to the tracks "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers or the Contrabass saxophone in "Have a Lucky Day" or "Cure for Pain" by Morphine is not even comparable to the synthesized sub bass on these speakers. What I'm trying to say is real mid-bass is magical when properly balanced (unbalanced makes vocals sound muddy). These subs are great for movie watchers and upbeat music. The subs pack good a punch, you can get a slight back massage or move medium size items in the room, but it's not earth shattering/head rattling like high powered 15/12 inch subs that makes it seem like the apocalypse. I would say these are perfectly suited for drum kick bass and explosions. For being ported, these subs do a good job of staying tonal and agile but there is noticeable "port hum" which caused by the resonate frequency and size of box port. It's not specific to this speaker system, all ported boxes suffer from this flaw. Although because it does such a great job of still being tonal I don't ding it any points and the engineers made the right choice because ported boxes generally output at-least 1.5x more sound than sealed boxes but at the expense of the port distortion. You literally get more "bang" for your buck with a ported sub-woofer. With the 8" sub woofer there is no sub-bass unfortunately. One track I used to test this was "Ritz107" by Fischerspooner. At 3:20ish the whole room should be shaking but I could tell the low end cutoff was set high for these subs (Possible around 25-35hz) as those frequencies were completely missing. That's not surprising considering they're just 8" woofers on a digital crossover but a little disappointing. At first I was a little worried about having two sub-woofers due to phase interference but it wasn't an issue. If anyone has issues try changing the angle of the sub or move it a few feet and you're good. Side speakers: A I'm glad that these speakers are beefier than most side speakers and think they sound great. Positioning can be tricky as with any surround speaker Remote: A High quality back lit remote with lots of features and memorization. Vocal tonal balance and fidelity: B I want to give an "A" but due to the lack of mid bass which haunts most sound bars I cannot, However the vocals are extremely well balanced for this setup. You'll be able to crank up the volume on this sound system without the fear of sharp vowel sounds from "A"s and "E"s and enjoy listening even more at high volumes rather than shreaking. I appreciate the engineers choice in acoustic cone and cabinet material as well as digital processing which are the primary reason for this balance. This is why I say it's great for multi content consumption because its subdued enough to where it's not going to annoy your ears or cause fatigue. But they are slightly too subdued for my taste. My favorite tweeter dome material has to be silk, but these sound more like a Mylar or composite plastic (haven't checked what they are). If they are silk dome then the "E"s and "S" are extremely subdued and something is wrong. Frequency Response, Power curve: A Frequency response is a tricky question. A power curve is the amplification level map per frequency for a given volume setting. Humans don't perceive audio linearly, this is why Fletcher Munson curves exist that are supposed to map perceived loudness to frequency and SPL. Also lower frequencies take exponentially more power to produce the same perceived loudness as higher frequencies. These speakers have a great power curve for average listeners and starts to really fill room out after 30. If you're listening below 30 and want a fuller sound, the "stereo" and "night" modes should help out Sound Processing, Sound Stage: A- Good amount of options for sound buffs, could be tricky for noobs but the simple "Game", "Movie" buttons help out a lot. It's good that there's an option to disable sound processing altogether. The noise floor is almost non-existent compared to other speaker systems. I feel like that to achieve such a low noise floor there must have been some sound processing algorithm applied that also impedes vocal fidelity as a consequence. That's just my hunch. Sound stage is great for movies and good for music. During movies my wife was looking around when bullets flew by and when listening to songs it sound like you're in a medium size cafe about 15 feet from a 30 foot wide stage. How I would improve this product: Increase the surface area on the center drivers to compensate for the driver size and help fill the mid bass gap, then remove the 8" sub line and only sell 10" subs because the 8" frequency range has too much crossover with low end vocals which convolutes the sound stage. Possibly add a sealed sub alternative option. I graded my listening experience for a few songs: "Heart of Gold" - Neil Young : B "Under the Milky Way Tonight" - The Church : A "The Killing Moon" - Echo and the Bunnymen : B (Stereo mode, bass @ 2) "Lifes Been Good" - Joe Walsh : B "Piano Man" - Billy Joel : B "Rocket Man" - Elton John : A+ "Hotel California" The Eagles A "Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats : B- "Walk Like an Egyptian" - The Bangles : C The biggest drawback for music is the port hum (not noticeable for people who don't know to listen for it) due to the ported design, but it's better for movies.
