🔥Buy Dragon on Amazon 🔥: amzn.to/3HyUv6x

👷‍♂Full Review in progress ...

🚨UPDATE🚨about ‘folded/dented’ main unit grill. Nakamichi CEO Rayman Cheng (or at least his email account) reached out and offered to send me a new main unit with a less interesting grill. He mentioned that the shipping process is to blame for the damage (boxes oriented the wrong way … too much pressure … etc as commenters have pointed out) and said that an acrylic board has since been added to new shipments to protect from grill damage. I hope that all customers affected are given the same replacement option. Wanted to verify that the issue is known by Nakamichi and they are taking steps to correct. And yes Full Review is still in progress. Firmware Update V2.1 - Firmware Update (v 2.1) - www.support.nakamichi-usa.com/dragon/firmware-upgrade

Can’t wait for the full review and comparisons!

Great job on the unboxing review. I'm just amazed that there was some minor damage to the grill considering how well it was packed. I look forward to the official review.

Definitely interested in hearing your comparison to HT-9+SW5+Somy center channel TV and Sonos Arc+2 Subs+Era 300 rears.

I really love this review perhaps the best unboxing review so far.

Ah, the moment we've been waiting for. Men of audiophile sound quality, it is time to gather.

❤Your Reviews Man. 👍

Yay. I’ve been o so waiting for this

Woah can’t wait for your review! Dragon owner here but looking forward for your opinion!

insane soundbar, just insane

Noize. Hope you will deliver some FR measurements. Fingers crossed.

because we got to keep Caleb on his toes. Subbed

Awesome system cannot wait for the full review. The ripples on the grill are caused by shipping issues. If the box is upside down the subs push back on the bottom of the main unit and causes the ripple effect on the grills. Nakamichi already started to do swap outs of the grill issue. I had the same issue. Does not affect sound though.

Mine arrived with the same creases on the top of the main unit where the speaker baffles separate the chamber. I also had one subwoofer with a totally caved in grill. Nakamichi has offered to send a replacement grill for the sub direct to me. They gave me the option to either have a new main unit without the limited edition badge sent to me, then I could return my unit in the same box, or I can send my badged unit back to them, and they will redo the primary unit and move the badging, and send back. I believe the creases on the unit came from weight/being on the bottom of the shipping stack...

This system shouldn't be called a SoundBar. It's definitely a Beast for those who can afford extremely high-quality sound. I would love to hear your opinion when compared to the Sennheiser Ambeo(bar vs bar alone) and it's impressive how expensive it got($3000 back then vs $3800 today) since I saw the "first hand review" on DT channel. Super thank you for your "Very Nerdy" reviews🤩✌️🇨🇦

Can get it replaced the grill issue as others have but another long wait. Seems they actually have added a new layer on the bar packaging to stop it happening now to 'newer' orders but not a good look as happened to quite a few orders.

Does nakamichi dragon compete with Sony HT A9 with SW-5 ? And what is the difference between both sound bar ?????

Thanks 🙏

I’d like to hear your comparison of the Dragon with the ultimate Sonos system (Arc plus pair of Era 300s in the front along with dual subs and a pair of Era 300 surrounds.

I doubt you can get this at a brick and matar store but other soundbars i would get at best buy or somewhere else

You always give me a good laugh; In a good way. I actually had one of the first 500. Never intended to return but it had a few minor issues and I got worried about being caught out if any one piece broke. It’s a hell of a system and it sounds amazing, but I ended up the Sonos w/era300s and 2 subs. I think it has a better bubble and gets close enough to Dragon to satisfy my needs.

Hey Daniel, waiting for your comparison between the Nakamichi Dragon and Q995GC/ZG. Are you working on it?

Please tell the air vent size and length

Wish they went for forward firing and downfiring drivers on each sub unit… No mic for calibration is a little odd on a system of this caliber.

May i know if the stand to ear level mounting for the sorround speakers are included or a separate purchase?

I love those socks!

When connected to an AppleTv box, it will suffer (here and there) from HDMI handshake issues where the screen is going to remain black. It has happened to me with Amazon prime video, with Netflix, and with Appletv+. The only fix so far is to disconnect it from the power for about 20 seconds, so it resets the HDMI connections. Hoping for a firmware at some point. I’m still extremely happy with my Dragon though. The sound is an experience of it’s own.

🍻 awesome

Where did you find the firmware update? I can’t seem to find it online anywhere and the link they have in the manual leads to an error page.

Did you return it? I would send it back with that damage grill. Have them replace it / fix it

Is the nakamichi dragon bass better than the dual sonos gen3 subs? I am deciding between those two sound systems and would like to buy one but i dont know which one to pick

I don't understand how the autoreverse version of the CR1E turned from the world's most expensive tape player to a set of speakers

I thought you said review in progress 11 days ago, did something happen? Hope all is o.k.

Pretty sure that remote is made by the same manufacturer as the sony tv remotes. Which is a good thing

Review coming still?

Upwards firing drivers are really gives atmos effect or that things are just gimmick ?????

2.1 firmware made the subs sound way better. 2.0 the really deep base was missing.

Best Dolby Atmos Soundbar under 1500$

The dragon will never be available in Oz, but still enjoyed your video. 👏👏👏👏👏 Atmos for poor people 🤣😂🤣😂

Bro it finna be 2024 already. When it finna drop my G?

If the subs didn’t bottom out it would be a perfect system.. it’s like they took a huge amount of time for the main unit and surrounds and then just got tired and made some cheap subs..you would think 4 subs would make pictures fall off the walls but they are junk..my q990b with only 1 sub blows these 4 away..disappointed 😢..the grill on mine was damaged too🤬

Excited for the full review. Guessing it’ll be a new benchmark for HTIB…don’t call it a sound bar….

First id like to say i enjoy your videos, but you picked samsung q990c over jbl 1300x even after you said samsung lacked bass, if thats the case what what makes q990c better overall. FYI I Value your opinion

So what’s my best option to get Dolby Atmos if I have a 2012 52 LG plasma TV with no ARC or EARC? Or do I have to definitely get a new television in order to get Dolby Atmos?

Like

dragon review?

What's taking so long?

More wattage gives more loudness is that true ????

Pls give away this system, there is lack of availability in India!!! :( Hope Nakamichi brings this to India.

Ive had mine for two weeks. Not impressed with the subwoofers. They can get loud, but not deep or clear. They just make noise.

Wow... those dents...

Why I have baby grand to lolo😂

HOLY shit... For this price something like the bend grill is NOT acceptable! For this reason I have decided against the system even if it is available in Europe at some point. If there are problems, you only have to deal with the distance to the manufacturer

The price point screwed them

😂😂😂 poor qc

The quality control department all needs fired.

The price point horrible the shipping horrible they will sell no more than a thousand of these until they are half priced

I don’t recommend this product, it’s made in china. I had it for two weeks ended up returning it. Took them about a month to return back my money 1800. It sounded pretty bad I was very disappointed. Ended up getting Sony 7.2 with receiver . Sounds amazing .
