Hi Andrew, I would like for you and Kristi to do a review of the Nakamichi Dragon Soundbar Home Theatre and then possibly have a head to head with the Ambeo Max with 2 added subs and 2 added surrounds(speakers). Also maybe compare it to a system with ab AV receiver and some Klipsch towers, subs and surrounds that add up to approximately the 3,900 that the Nakamichi Dragon will retail for. Thanks for all your awesome reviews.

I've always liked Bose. Despite the well-known disdain from a lot of audiophiles (I never take their opinions seriously, as a rule) I've found the majority of their products to sound impressive whether the source is music or movies. This soundbar sounds like a fantastic option of which I'm not surprised.

I can’t wait until we have real-time AI assistants like Ironman’s Jarvis telling us things like, “Turn the left front speaker inward 5 degrees. Now bring the right surround speaker closer to your listening position by 6 inches. Good. Now let me redo the calculations. Please stand by...” 😅 That’s the future I’m excited for!

Keeps the special affects the same, but boost the voice through the center channel. As I've gotten older, a little extra voice presence is very much appreciated

I bought the 65" S90C. Went from 42" lg ips to this big beast. Amazed. First thing I watched was Netflix The fall of the house of Usher. Beginning of show is definitely amazing to see real blacks and flashes of white from lightning storm. I had put together a small 5.1.2 sound setup and this tv brings the sound to life. My audio is Sony str-an1000 with jamo Studio s803, klipsch R40s as atmos, BIC Acoustech PL-200 Subwoofer. Thinking of doing small upgrades to my audio. Debating if I should start with a better center channel. Ideas?

@sebastianmerriman8055 8 ай бұрын

Hi, first of all thank you for all your excellent reviews. I think that I am somewhat in Kristi’s camp in that clarity of dialogue is increasingly important to me. I would be prepared to sacrifice some top end performance for greater clarity there, especially if there was improved music as well. Based on that, would you recommend this over the Q990C? Would Kristi herself choose that? I think a sub is crucial and that then makes the Bose quite a bit more expensive- albeit that that is a slightly separate issue. Many thanks in advance.

Bose once used to be my aspirational speaker, and the same for a lot of Indians. I remember the time i had bought the soundlink mini 2. It punched way above it's class. I had the QC25, the first mass market nose cancelling headphones. I used to show off the NC to my friends, and they were always shocked to experience the ambient noise just disappear. It's sad to see that in the current market, Bose has no products, in the TWS, stereo speakers or the soundbars category that i, or many people wouldn't even consider.

I really wish one of these manufacturers would come out with a sound bar that acted as a center channel and maybe a channel surround function, but had RCA out put so that you could integrated into your 2.1 system. This one especially with its AI trickery for elevating the vocal clarity in my mind would be absolutely perfect, if it would then spit out a 2.1 signal to my stereo receiver to use the towers and subwoofer as the left, right, and LFE channels. I really don’t want to spend $3000 on a receiver with pre-outs, just so that I can have a clean center channel and hide channels using my current stereo system.

A friend of mine with a severe case of tinnitus asked me about a sound bar last year after he had blown a speaker in his TV. I went to his home and he had a nice Yamaha sound bar set up but dialogue clarity was his pet peeve. He asked my advice and I asked him if I could do some research. He stated that he had a 300.00 Budget. Less than ten days later he had a Zvox sound bar. He was more than a little dubious as we set it up. An hour later he called me to tell me that he could understand all dialogue twenty feet away and he was ecstatic, so I understand the importance of dialogue clarity and surround sound clarity. Now as AI applications to audio goes I have no difficulty with it as long as I do not end up in a debate with Alexa or Jarvis!

I can nearly guarantee the whole headpiece for room correction was a satirical nod to audiophiles of old. Love that. I’ve always thought that Bose had much bigger sound than you expect out of them. I still have a tiny Bluetooth speaker from them, that just obliterates in sheer volume and quality much larger speakers. I love their products, simple, easy to use and you get what you pay for. By the way, I bought that tiny speaker in 2015. It still works perfect. So yeah. In terms of AI, whether you like it or not, it’s here, it’s the future and there’s no way around it and so long it’s well implemented and used for the right reasons, I don’t mind it. If it’s a label that doesn’t do anything any better or makes things worse (seen it before), maybe skip that particular product. Great review and conversation! Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday!

I am looking to move up to a 50" Samsung Neo QLED (largest I can go with the wall built in) and was considering doing alway with the old Denon and looking at soundbars. I would absolutely love to own the Samsung Q990C but again space is an issue with my built in only allowing for 44 inches wide for the space for the TV. I was then considering the Samsung HW-Q930C for its smaller size but that comes in at 43.7 inches and would probably make the sound on the sides just awful. I would prefer to have true Atmos & DTS-X sound. What would you recommend?

What are the real big differences between a soundbar vs speakers for music, home cinema and gaming. And does it matter if you compare low end soundbar vs low and speakers, of in the medium and high end? Does the difference get bigger or smaller when going to low/high end? We all know that a speaker lags compared to soundbar when you talk about space efficiency. But where lags the soundbar compared to speakers in general? And why? So much quastions, we almost need a youtube video about it. XD

Hello, ty so much for your reviews as this has been an amazing journey for me. For a cheaper option, can the Sony ES7000 with Michi X3 Series 2 amp be a good alternative compared to Marantz AV10/Amp 10? These will be powering all Klipsch RP 2 line 7.2.6.

Thank you for your support. As for your question, the Sony 7000ES should be more than enough for your Klipsch speakers on its own. If you add a Michi X3 you'd be effectively supercharging your system at which point you could add any speaker you want in the future.

Are the Bose subwoofers better than using a wired Klipsch sub? The Klipsch are cheaper and very good subs. My problem is I need to find a sub 14 inches tall or less to fit where I need to put it.

In a small to medium room would the Module 500 sub be beneficial to the Ultra?

I had the Bose 900 with sub 700. No rear speakers. It was ok. Now i have the Sennheiser Ambeo plus with Ambeo subwoofer. ( NOT THE MAX ) the Max does not have good dialogue like the Plus. What a difference! If you want clean dialogue then i don't think any soundbar is as good as the Ambeo plus. Not to mention the Ambeo plus has 3 HDMI ports, Great app, nice remote, plays any Codecs you have including most all Dolby, DTS formats even the older ones with your old DVD's and blue-rays plus sounds great with streaming movies from Netflix, Disney and Amazon prime video. I can even play and listen to my SACD collection thru my Sony 4K blue -ray player on the Ambeo plus. Can't do that on Sonos, Bose and most any other soundbar. If they ever come out with rear speakers for the Sennheisers then watch out. It will then be a complete set up like a receiver / speaker set up.

Hey this was a great video. Now I was confused whether I should buy the Bose seismic system (full kitted with subwoofers and surround speakers) OR Sonos sound bar with sub and surround speakers OR even the fully kitted Samsung OR Nakamichi Dragon fully kitted. Like which one would be the best choice (assuming size of room is not important). Can you plz help me with this ??

@andrewrobinsonreviews 6 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, this is not an easy answer. You are looking at wildly different price points. Depending on how familiar you are with these products, for example, Sonos and Bose are very user-friendly, whereas the Dragon is all manual tweaker's paradise. I have not heard the Dragon so I'm not weighing in other than to say it's very expensive and limited in it's features. My pick if you are getting surrounds, sub, etc would either be the Samsung or the Sonos.

Thor feedback and reviews are great, I love the two points of feedback which are not biased and one leading the other to the same point. Question, I was thinking to buy my soundbar after having a onkyo txnr696 with monitor audio speakers. I was looking at the LG S95QR. I have an lg 86 tv and wanted one ecosystem. Your review on this was brutal. I don’t think I ever seen a review about how horrible this is. Is it the case because it’s expensive vs others in same range. Is this because you are an audiophile. Will this be a good for me or is this rubbish?

Why no one ever test the Polk Magnify Max AX SR which has a wireless sub and surrounds for $899. ? Andrew you tested the mini version and you were impressed, I'm confident you would equally if not more impressed with the MAX AX, and with it's connectivity advantage and larger more capable sub would give run for the Sonos's and Bose's money.

@moonytheloony6516 8 ай бұрын

I listened to MAX AX and it's very, very good, but I'd still give Bose and Sonos the nod over the MAX AX regarding the sound. For some reason the Polk Audio fell a bit short in the bass department for me. Sonos & Bose sounded better enough for me to consider those two over the Polk, but as is the case in all things audio, opinions are purely subjective. Do you own the MAX AX? If not, what setup do you currently enjoy in your home?

@lewb.8619 8 ай бұрын

@@moonytheloony6516 Yes I do, and I'm coming from a full fledged Atmos HT, so I had very low expectations. Regarding the bass, while I agree it's not very good, I think a good room correction could help with it. Btw I wired another sub a monolith 12" slim to the Polk's wireless sub via speaker wires inside the sub so I think my set up would be a bit better than what you might experienced.But is any case the Polk even with the added sub cost less then half of what the Bose does.

Hi Andrew! Another stellar review, ty! It’s great to see Bose incorporating AI to help further enhance their product and the user experience for the good. So much is said about the negatives AI has brought us so it’s great to see another positive benefit from it. I’m sure with time, Bose will only improve their AI and continue to perfect it so it’s great to see how good it is right out of the gate. Hopefully this will encourage other A/V manufacturers to innovate AI into their products to further step up the audio quality and user experience for us all.

Kristi is unique in that she appreciates a subwoofer. Most women, my wife included, hate them. We are currently doing new construction. The TV room will be an open floor plan into the kitchen & dining room. It'll be a big space & I just don't know if the Smart Ultra bar by itself will pump out enough bass. What to do?????

My wife felt the same about subs and I think it stemmed from messy sub/Sat systems that we had before. I bought the Bose 900 and bass module 700. I intentionally set up just the bar and we really liked it. A day later, I added the sub and let her pick one of her favorite movies for family movie night (Return of The King remastered version). She was sold instantly and now probably uses the system more than I do. Order both and give a try. The bass module has a classy look to it and is relatively compact, so it’s not a big, chunky box like our prior subs were.

Dialog is the most important feature with any sound system, especially sound bars. Go to the movie theater, the dialog is razor crisp. I testing the Sonos ARC and returned it. Great impressive sound but crappy dialog. Got the Bose 900, which has much better dialog, that said I may upgrade to the Ultra
