Finally! An honest review. I am also someone that suggested this review, so thank you for this! As for me, to get around not being able to use WiFi, I use Apple Airplay and pipe the music through my smart TV. It works even better than I expected. Also, I love the bass the subwoofers produce, and find nothing missing from it.

@@uptownsfinest1598 OK this is where I am confused, I too have a CX and will be getting a series X, I was about to pas on this because it is not Earc and he tv is, are we sacrificing anything by getting an arc only sound bar vs an earc capable sound bar like the Vizio elevate or other lg and sonos bars? How do you connect this properly and is there a downside? Will I get atmos and surround from WebOs apps as well as the series x? Thanks for any answers on this, Im ust confused Ive never used a sound bar before, and I wan to find something with subs and speakers like this, BUT I am confised about the earc and arc limitations and how that affects the audio and decoding the various audio formats.

@Matt Pipke If the tv has eARC (the CX does I believe. I have a C9 and it does.) , then you're fine _. The connections are just different. Here's an answer I received directly from Nakamichi when inquiring about_ the same: " _*The reason we suggest connecting everything to the TV is that you have a 2019 LG C9 that has eARC (99.999% of the TVs do not have that). eARC can pass thru Dolby Atmos or DTSX directly to the soundbar. Other customers who do not have eARC will have to connect all the devices directly to the soundbar."* _ Hope that helped.

Dude - The CX is a beautiful TV. I got so F****** lucky and managed to buy one a 77” LG in the box for $610 3 days ago and I creamed my pants when I got it home and it’s hooked up and ready to use. I purchased a vendor return item in a auction and saw the TV to bid on. It was in perfect condition , still in box , has the styrofoam , the plastic bags for the remote and everything! So I went for it and got it for $610!! The 77” CX OLED by LG was $3200 new and I absolutely fell in love with the picture and design of this tv !

I have the 7.2.4 Elite Nakamichi system with the 8” dual subwoofers and 2 rear speakers and this system makes you feel like you’re in a movie theater. It gets loud but sounds great when watching TV and movies. It sounds even better when gaming. I play a lot of Call Of Duty and it makes me feel immersed. I really do recommend this system.

I dont think evern Nakamichi would say that your should confuse this with a AV receiver and quality speakers setup. That would be unfair. If you're listening to your tv speakers, then this is a significant upgrade.

My surround sound receiver went out after 15 years so I decided to buy this exact unit. With that being said the bass is awesome! That’s a givin with the extra sub. With that being said the sound bar itself with the surround speakers are just week. You can tell they are only using 2 or 3 inch drivers in them. I was pretty upset at times when I sounded almost muffled. I needed up sending it back and rebuilt my surround sound with a new unit and extra sub and smile every time I have it on.

Bro... the 2020 firmware! WOWWWW!!!! OK, I'm at a different advantage here. I separated and amped all the surrounds and heights also the front wides. Sounds even better because of the firmware. BTW I like and agree with your review. I love this soundbar!!!! Small physical impact, large sound impact. I used to have all separate 7.2 components but once you go 9.2.4 you can never go back. At this price (plus separating the speakers) how can you go wrong? My sound is saturating and enveloping. I wish others would consider what I did. Thanks again for the review. Oh and please let people know about the new 2020 firmware. Surrounds are popping out like never before. Happy with my 85" QLED and Nakamichi Ultra!!!!

I have an 18x15 feet living room with an 8 foot flat ceiling where my 55-Inch LG B6 4K UHD Multi-HDR with Dolby Vision Smart Flat Big-Screen OLED TV is located. Originally I wanted one of the two Nakamichi Shockwafe Spatial Surround Elevation (SSE) Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Soundbar System Series: Either the 800 Watt-7.2.4 Channel Elite Home Cinema Theater Surround Sound System or the 1,000 Watt-9.2.4 Ultra Home Cinema Theater Surround Sound System with a 5-Channel Soundbar that comes with Six Full-Range Woofer Drivers: Two Left Channel Speakers, Two Center Channel Speakers for Very Good Vocals/Dialog Performance, and Two Right Channel Speakers plus Two Side-Firing Surround Tweeters that Bounces Sound off Walls & Ceiling, Two Big Subwoofers, and either Two or Four 2-Way Surround Loudspeakers all coming with Full-Range Woofer-Driver and a Tweeter-Driver for a complete full-on high performance/quality/end/fidelity/resolution Dolby Atmos/DTSX/IMAX home theater moving surround sound experience that looks feels and sounds like a real-life commercial Dolby Atmos or IMAX Laser movie theater and rivals my nearby IMAX Laser and Dolby Atmos commercial movie theaters but my room isn’t ideal or powerful enough to handle two subwoofers or four surround speakers so I decided to go opting out for a critically acclaimed high performance/quality/end/fidelity/resolution Klipsch 5.1.2 Channel Traditional Wired Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound Loudspeaker System paired with a critically acclaimed high performance/quality/end/fidelity/resolution Denon AVRS970H 7.2 Channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Audio/Video Receiver speaker wires/cables and HDMI Inputs so I own a Klipsch 5.1.2 Channel Premium Dolby Atmos and DTSX Full-On Home Theater Surround Sound Loudspeaker System wired to a Denon AVRS970H 7.2 Channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Audio/Video Receiver with my Apple TV 4K UHD Multi-HDR with Dolby Vision Smart Streaming Media Player with Dolby Atmos my Dish Cable Box and Oppo 203 4K UHD Multi-HDR with Dolby Vision Blu Ray Player with Dolby Atmos/DTSX all connected to the Denon AVRS970H Receiver and while watching enjoying and listening to many Stereo 5.1 or Dolby Atmos/DTSX films/tv shows plus listening to many stereo or Dolby Atmos music tracks I was totally blown away with my 5.1.2 Channel Traditional Premium Dolby Atoms/DTSX Home Theater Surround Sound System with Denon AV Receiver it sounded extremely great powerful dynamic immersive room filling richer crystal-clearer realistic detailed impactful cinematic sharper stunning three dimensional atmospheric and bass/treble/midrange-heavy that totally sounds the same as the Nakamichi Shockwafe Spatial Surround Elevation (SSE) Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Soundbar System Series but also sounds like a real life Dolby Atmos/DTSX/IMAX commercial movie theater for a truly immersive amazing impactful cinematic Dolby Atmos/DTSX home theater that rivals my nearby real life commercial Dolby Atmos/DTSX/IMAX-Laser movie theaters in which the filmmakers the sound team and the music team intended them to enjoy listen watch and experience them as it was originally mixed in a recording studio

I am extremely confused with all the comments saying how great this system is! There are tons of reviews on the internet about this system. And no of them are good. People actually moved on from this to different and other brands. I currently have this same one. I have a 500sq ft apartment. My living room is med size. And this system sounds like it muffled. Doesn’t perform like most people say. I have to turn the soundbar up to 30 in order to hear good bass. When i connect my iphone thru bluetooth, the sound is in fact greater than any other option on this sound bar. I regret purchasing this one. I am pretty tech savvy So i know what i am doing

I've been rocking these for a few years for a projector set up. Sitting on my couch and hearing planes fly around and explosions come through is amazing. I really can't complain about the audio quality or balance in daily use. Also I got the set up for 900$ not 1400$, but I can't complain, it's seriously good over all. I use spotify through CC w/GTV for music, and I think that's better than the bluetooth set up. I'm not rocking WAV files or anything. Haha.

You nailed this review. I bought this system but the newer 2023 version. The Dolby atmos doesn’t work well because the system doesn’t fire off the ceiling because it doesn’t have independent up firing speakers. Also, the system just sucks at music. The sound is poor. My Jbl blows this system out of the water with better Dolby atmos, musical quality, and a subwoofer that blends the sound of the bass with the rest of the system rather than just having two thump cannons as side tables. Not to mention my nakamichi was defective from day one and took forever to get repaired and returned. I’ll rather upgrade to newest Jbl 1300x or the Samsung 990c.

Ya know the funny thing about Nakamichi is they usually only have guys on here review the 9.2 which 90% of ppl can't place in their home. I have had the 7.2 for 3 yrs and will tell you it's not worth the money. The actual sound bar isn't very good as he stated and the remote is one of the confusing and hardest to understand. I have the latest software upgrade and think this is just an average sound bar with overblown specs. I wouldn't buy another one and suggest you get a name brand that you see on KZfaq reviews.

I have questions Not being Earc capable, I have an LG Cx and will add a Series x to it, will this Nakamichi be able to deliver the audio properly based on the tv and xbx capabilities or am I limited due to the sound bar being arc only? I love the idea of the 7.1, a 9.2 is too much for my space, honestly 7.2 is a lot also, I just wanted a 5.2 but this sound bar with 2 subs grabbed my attention, I think there is a way to pair the satellite speakers on one stand to minimize the footprint, I really only have room for two rear stands. But im also looking at others with a sub and 2 rears that are EARC capable, like the Vizio elevate and I am going to check the LG and Sonos too. I just want an enhanced audio solution for now until they make a receiver that is hdmi 2.1 capable. Should I just ignore any system that is arc only and look at Earc devices only for best results and compatibility?

OK - I wont pretend that I could build a HT system with that many speakers (not to mention two subs) for the asking price here in Oz, but it would be an interesting exercise nonetheless. Freight and Customs charges are an absolute killer on anything with this many parts, particularly bulky speakers, but that applies to a component system too. Thanks for the video.

I have a traditional 5.1 Onkyo, which I love, but it’s age is showing. I’m skeptical of soundbars vs dedicated speakers, but I’m considering this. What’s the range of the Bluetooth? Are there any latency problems?

It only supports up to 60hz refresh rate? so plugging in your ps5 which could be outputting 120hz video into the sound bar and then the sound bar into a 120 hz tv would have you losing the full 120 hz. Am i right in thinking that?

Watched both your reviews on the Pro and the Ultra systems and you seemed to talk up the pro more and genuinely like it better. Would you agree with that? Trying to decide for a smaller living room but don’t want to miss out on quality of the elite or ultra if I go with the pro.

They’re both great systems! However, the ultra isn’t for everyone. Having 4 surround speakers in most non-dedicated media rooms is tough. 2 surround speakers is much more manageable.

Considering it is only capable to play down to 30hz it may be ok for music but not for films. I mean what can you expect from a 9.2.4 system that’s less than a proper stereo setup. For most people it should be fine though.

Sounds like it needs he crossover adjusted . Simple fix as long as it has the option. Sounds like it should since it has a lot of options. It’s probably up too high around 120 hertz and needs to be down around 80 or 50 .

Happy new year and big thx for your videos... I have questions regarding digital sound out on LG TV. I heard that Auto is for ARC and pass through is for eARC. I've a budget LG tv (UN7300) with a standard HDMI ARC but I've have both options (auto/pass through) 1/ what's the point of having pass through option since my tv don't support eARC? 2/ what's the difference between both options (I mean what auto really do and what pass through do)? 3/ I have the JBL Bar 5.1 (with real surround speakers which support PCM/LPCM, AC3 and DTS) I know that my tv don't support DTS as all LG TVs of 2020 and ARC pass through don't support LPCM so the only option I've is Dolby digital and am wondering if auto is the right choice rather than using passthrough!? PS: I can detect a difference between both options; when auto is selected surround speakers are a bit louder when pass through is selected the front speakers (from soundbar) are a bit louder and surround speakers are less louder. Plz help auto or passthrough which is the most accurate in my case and what's the difference between both.

I was really surprised with the poor customer service from Nakamichi. I was VERY disappointed they removed my negative feedback on Ebay. It's flat out unethical for them to present themselves with "100 pct positive feed back" They sent me a broken unit, then the wrong part, didn't know what state I'm in, and did a poor job communicating with UPS when the package was late. I spent hours trouble shooting things that were not my fault;I specifically bought this system for ease of set up. Then they wouldn't let me return it without the box, and even if I did have it, they wanted to charge me shipping.

so you're saying this would be a better choice for home cinema setups than, say, Sonos Arc? Seems to be reasonably priced in the Pro 7.2 configuration that also supports Atmos. Well, I'm torn between Arc, 2x HomePod, this baby and one of Sony's soundbars.

Hi Jonah, thank you for your review. I would have liked to know how this would perform with next gen gaming consoles, although I understand that they are currently somewhat difficult to obtain for some people. In particular to the ability that these consoles have (when supported) regarding 4K120fps/Hz and HDMI 2.1 that is then required. I think I saw this system only passes through 4K60Hz. Maybe you have gotten some experience in the meantime and I’d like to hear your take on it what you then did regarding the options you then had. I have been eyeing this system for a while now, but I do have a pretty high vaulted ceiling. Do you have any suggestions for me as being mainly a console gamer who also likes to watch movies and who listens to some music? Much appreciated, thanks!
