    Great system. Works tgrough my Apple TV. No receiver needed with this soundbar system. Had the Geek Squad set it up. Super easy and they were great to work with.

    This sound bar" Nakamichi-Shockwafe 7.2.4 " is the way sound is done. I have a medium size front room to which this system handles with ease , volume and depth of sound. The only thing I did to the sound was raise the rear speaker volume and adjust for the room size. I do have an eARC tv which engaged to the sound bar easily. I also like the all stereo 'RED' button which uses all speakers for a full sound arangement. Now as to the Surround sound , you get it all. Great bass and treble especially when using a Blue Ray disc . The dolby atmos is best with the green button for surround.The sound in all cases is rich, clear and as loud as your ears can take. Bottom line, this system so far has delivered in every category with flying colors, as for anything new, Time will tell.

    I replaced my full size home theater speaker/receiver setup with the nakamichi shockwafe 7.2.4 elite system. I was looking to de-clutter and simplify my home theater setup. I must say-- i was not too optimistic that a soundbar system would come anywhere close to the sound quality of my large psb monitors and bower wilkins surround speakers. Happy to say i was proven wrong. This nakamichi system rivals the home theater sound i was getting from my full size setup. Great surround effects, crisp dialog, fantastic low end rumble with the dual 8" subs. Much more clean and tidy in our living room and simple to operate. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

    Best Surround Sound System money can buy, double sub-woofers make you feel like you're at the cinemas with plenty of bass,treble, and center channels feedback. Would recommend hands down over anything else. Nakamichi is top of the line.

    The sound from this set up is movie theater quality. I have bought Samsung, Sony, and Polk Audio soundbars over the years. I was about to go with JBL when I started looking at Nakamichi soundbars. The reviews were good and it went on sale right at the time I was ready to buy. I bought it and have no regrets. The bass from the 2 subs is absolutely house shaking. Highly recommend this product.

    Sound quality is great. 2 sub woofers are balancing the bass really good. Dolby atmos is good only if I place rear speakers correctly based on nakamichi instruction. Lot of customization which helps to setup in a way I like. I would like auto calibration in-built so it will be easy for first customer.

    If you are a looking for a theatre like experience, look no further. These will definitely blow your mind when you experience them yourselves. Having experienced this, I am now looking forward to get the Nakamichi Dragon Experience for my media room.

    The Nakamichi 7.2.4 (1000 watt) is everything the company advertises it to be. This system certainly gives me the best bang for the buck. Great surround that captures all of the highs and lows with plenty of adjustments available for personalizing.

    Really Good! Bass is Pumping! Anytime you pop in a movie with DTS X or Dolby Atmos this system feels like you are in a Dolby Atmos theater or IMAX screening. Must have!

    Far exceeded my expectations! This sound system has successfully PO'ed my fiancé, my pets, and my neighbors. (Even though I have a brick home, and the closest neighbor is .25 miles away.) The quality of sound is absolutely astounding! The highs and mids are crystal clear and unwavering. When the bass drops on anything over 40, it's guaranteed to tickle your taint. Make sure your windows and elderly guests are secured firmly. Everything is very well constructed and solid.

    I wanted to love this system, but it never performed as well as I expected. Even going through the setup process several times I was never able to get the sound where I wanted it. The system is feature rich, but we encountered some crackling sounds and connectivity issues. I’m giving it 4 stars because I think the system is good, it just wasn’t right our TV (LG) and room configuration.

    I teetered between 4 and 5 stars on this. I am quite satisfied with the sound in the end. I was only slightly disappointed with the fact that there is no calibration for individual room dynamics, however, maybe that allows for an easier setup. Bass is outstanding.
