This sound system delivers impressively loud and crystal-clear audio with zero distortion, even at high volumes. Whether you're watching action-packed movies or listening to music or gaming, the clarity and depth of the sound make for an immersive experience. Compared to a traditional receiver-based system I really appreciate no tangled mess of wires or confusing configurations. It's essentially plug-and-play, making it great for anyone who wants high-quality sound without the hassle.

Outstanding. Absolutely loving my Naka!!!

The most powerful soundbar I have ever experienced.

The Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 is incredible. The sound quality is fantastic, with deep bass and impressive clarity. The surround experience really pulls you in, especially for movies. It's not small, but if you're serious about audio, this one's totally worth it. Super happy with this purchase!

This product surpassed all expectations! If set as recommended, you are literally in the movie or action being viewed!!! The main unit, 2 subs and 2 surrounds work in combination to provide a swirling/immersive experience like no other. Dragon is pricey for a reason. You will never regret it!!!!!!

THE DRAGON 🐉PLEASE READ! Nakamichi Dragon with dual 12's is the Best home theater set up I've ever owned!Hello everyone, I've been a Nakamichi fan since before the Shockwafe SSE. Let me tell you right out of the gate that the Dragon is a huge step up in both power and immersion and the bass from the dual 12's is mind blowing. If you're on the fence, the Dragon is on a whole different level!I've been enjoying my Shockwafe for years, but I had been wanting to do an upgrade to my home theater setup and I was starting to think about upgrading to a full blown receiver, a separate AVR, and so on, because I honestly didn't believe a soundbar could get much better than what I already had. However, the complexity of that kind of setup (doing the research, finding the right receiver, positioning multiple speakers, and especially running and trying to hide wires) really put me off. Considering how simple my previous Nakamichi system was, and recently hearing about the launch of Nakamichi's new Dragon and after reading more about it and watching videos and reviews and reflecting on how well Nak had served me up to this point I decided to purchase the Dragon with dual 12" subs!Right out of the box, the first thing that caught my eye was the sheer size and upgraded design of the Dragon compared to the Shockwafe. The main bar and surround speakers have a crazy awesome design and look great! The dual 12” subwoofers look absolutely massive and have an awesome look to them and I swear they look just like REL subwoofers kinda like an S812 $3000 unit. The subs are not ported but are a bass reflex design which is a much better and similar to getting double the output from each subwoofer! The entire system just screams “premium.” Once I fired it up, I was greeted by a new LED display on the soundbar that's clearer and super sharp, a nice surprise and definitely dimmable to 0.One of the biggest advantages (and reasons I chose to stay with a soundbar rather than go full AVR) is the easy setup. I had the dragon unboxed, positioned, and ready to go in well under 1.5 hours taking my time. It was all double boxed and once i got it all out it was basically plug and play. Dragon even has a built in fully customizable on-screen menu now, something that was missing from the previous Nakamichi systems. This makes it simple to tweak settings for your room without the guesswork of manual adjustments or endless trial and error. And you can even customize the entire DRAGON system to match up perfectly with the size of your room. Also a nice touch that it has is settings for bass adjustments separately from subs volume!Of course, the most noticeable upgrade is the bass. This is the REAL deal for me was with the two 12” subwoofers, the lows are deeper, tighter, and hit harder and cleaner than ever before it's insane! The bass carries more authority throughout my room, making everything from explosions in action movies to subtle atmospheric rumbles feel more realistic. The subs feel like they move my floor and walls but the bass is so clean that there are not rattles just super hard clean hits. The Dragon subs are on another planet literally.Another improvement I'm loving is how the surround sound algorithm has evolved. You can tell Nakamichi put a ton of R&D into perfecting the Atmos effects. Even scenes I've watched dozens of times feel brand new because the directional cues and ambient noise are so much more precise and the rear speakers also definitely pump. Dunkirk was my first test run, and hearing those planes buzzing overhead was so immersive it felt like I was right in the cockpit. The clarity in the gunfire and explosions was astounding, one of my biggest takeaways again is how hard and clean the bass hits with the dual 12's. I'll definitely be re-watching more movies like this!The new AMT drivers and improved center channel also take vocal clarity to another level. Dialog doesn't get lost during chaotic scenes, everything sounds richer and more present. Even music moments within my movies feel like a concert, with cleaner highs and fuller mids. It's night and day compared to my previous systems, and honestly, I doubt an AVR based setup would be much simpler than hooking up the DragonThe Dragon's remote is obviously redesigned and way better and has larger, color coded buttons and bluetooth functionality. No more pointing it at weird angles and pressing the buttons multiple times to get the system to respond, I can literally aim it anywhere in the room, and it works flawlessly. The brighter backlit keys are super helpful at night, and the overall build just feels more modern.As far as the price goes: I've seen comments from people who are hesitant to spend extra on the Dragon. I totally get it...money matters. But, in my opinion, Nakamichi has truly delivered on what customers have been asking for: better algorithms, stronger drivers, a newly designed remote, and bigger customizable subwoofers. It's a substantial upgrade on every front. As someone who has used their older systems extensively, I can confidently say it's worth the investment and you won't regret it once you watch your first movie. Especially when you consider how it spares you the headache of a more complex AVR/speaker setup and wires - that also costs more.All in all, I am on a major high with this new Dragon dual 12” setup. It has reignited my fun for watching movies and going back and rewatching multitudes of my favorite movies because everything sounds better than ever! It's crazy! If you're undecided, my advice is to just go for it and test it out. I doubt you'll regret it, it's such an impressive piece of audio gear that I'm already wondering how Nakamichi will ever top this in the future! And, I wouldn't hesitate getting the dual 12's as I hear they will be compatible with any future upgrades!Thanks for reading my review, and I hope it helps those of you still on the fence. If you loved the 9.2 eARC or any other premium soundbar, trust me, this is a serious serious upgrade times 12 and I'm so glad i went for the Dragon instead of juggling with a bunch of components and wires and this experience has taken my home theater to an entirely new dimension times 12 if you know what I mean!

Not my first soundbar! I have had a Creative Sonic Carrier and a top of the line Samsung in my past. The Sonic Carrier was hard to interface, set-up, and to keep working. The Samsung had muddled sound. The Dragon is awesome. I have the dual-opposing 8 subs. My listening room has some quirks like a sloping ceiling. The Dragon was easy to install and fine tune. Pulled up the movie Midway I had watched not that long ago. Really impressive with planes and explosions in the sound field. Expensive? Yes. But you get what you pay for!

Purchased this system recently and using for a month now, hands now the best sound I have ever heard in a soundbar. In fact I watched the same movies with this soundbar which I watched many times before, I am able to hear the crisp details of sounds and lot of minute sound that I never heard before on the same movie..worth buying!

I didn't a lot of research for a home theater system, and decided on the Dragon 11.4 6. I'm impressed with the sound, and ability to make some many adjustments!

Product did not disappoint. Def worth the money. Extremely loud, great for parties and movie night.

Best product I've ever purchased on Amazon. Performed beyond my expectations. Worth the price.

Got the system from their eBay store. Despite it is refurbished but it is brand new. Very fast shipping too.

Wow I must say this was one of the best purchases I've made. Initially I was hesitant on making this purchase but wow, I must say it Pears very well with my TV and I'm so happy that I made the purchase. As far as the sound, I think it's the best sounding system ever you can turn it up, which you probably won't turn it up more than 15. It's very loud but very clean sounding and that's very important.

I really like this system. The clarity and volume are both high end.

Powerful soundbar, heard it over at my friends house. I thought it was an avr.

So now that I have two Dragon systems I have to give you my thoughts on the new quad 12” subwoofer configuration. I am not an audiophile, I have always loved music. I've played it listened to it and lived it my entire life, as lots of us do. I read reviews by likely paid critics who were anti Dragon. I can say now that I have my system dialed in it not only is the best home theater I have ever heard it is on par with the systems on top end theaters now. I love cinema, but I love the art of music even more. Music frames my life and life experiences good or not so much. Last night my wife was with her sister on a trip and I had the opportunity to really listen to my collection of music with the new Dragon system. All I can say is the critics who said it lacks musicality are just wrong. As I set in my chair rewinding my life through sound, the quality of the sound literally gave me goosebumps. I have a main stereo that is moderately priced in the audiophile communities at around 60K. I cannot tell you the last time I got that personal with my main system, which is excellent. There was no alcohol or other sense provoking drug involved as I have been battling liver cancer for two years for the second time around and am on a strictly regulated transplant list. Last night and even now as I write this I am listening to emotion and hope playing through what you have created, I feel your passion my friends. This system will go into history at least with me as legendary, listening yesterday reminds me how wonderful life is and has given me the lift even with my chronic pain to keep going. Thank you to all of the dedicated employees at Nakamichi who have touched me when I needed it. I hope others will see the worthy investment in their own well being. I cannot say thanks enough, bless you all.

You might think this system is expensive and it is. However, when you set everything up which only takes a few minutes, it will all be worth it! The volume ranges from 0 - 100 and I haven't had it above 25! It makes it even better when you have an 8k smart tv connected to it. Trust me on this, you will love it. The packaging is also pinnacle!

I've owned several high-end home theater systems, but the Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 absolutely blows everything else out of the water! This system is a game-changer for home audio, delivering truly immersive 360° surround sound with earth-shaking bassthat makes every movie, game, and song feel like a live experience. Sound Quality – Beyond Next-Level The spatial audio precision is insane. The 11.4.6 configuration creates a full Dolby Atmos experience that genuinely feels like sounds are moving above, behind, and around you. Whether it's rain falling overhead or a jet flying by, the sense of realism is unmatched. Dialogue is crystal clear, even during action-packed scenes, thanks to the dedicated center channel and precision-tuned speakers. Subwoofers – Bass That Hits HARD The dual-opposing 8” subwoofers deliver deep, clean, and powerful bass that you don't just hear—you feel. Explosions rumble through the room, and music gains a new level of depth. The best part? The bass never distorts, even at high volumes. Build Quality – Premium & Futuristic Nakamichi clearly went all-out on design and build quality. Everything feels luxurious and solid, from the sleek soundbar to the wireless subwoofers and rear speakers. The wireless connectivity is rock-solid, ensuring zero lag or audio drops, which is something other high-end systems struggle with. Setup – Surprisingly Easy for a System This Advanced With a system this powerful, I expected setup to be complicated, but Nakamichi made it incredibly intuitive. The calibration process optimizes sound for your room, making sure every speaker and subwoofer is perfectly tuned. Even in a large living space, the sound distribution is flawless. Gaming & Music – Pure Audio Bliss I tested the DRAGON with PS5, Xbox Series X, and high-res music streaming, and the experience is unreal. The low-latency audio processing makes gaming fully immersive, while music playback is rich and dynamic, with clear highs, deep lows, and a perfectly balanced midrange. Final Verdict – Worth Every Penny At this price point, the Nakamichi DRAGON is a serious investment, but it's worth every dollar. If you want the most cinematic, high-impact, room-filling home theater experience available today, this is the king of surround sound systems. Nakamichi has set a new gold standard for home audio, and I couldn't be more impressed. 🔥 10/10 – Best Home Theater System I've Ever Owned! 🔥 Would I recommend it? Absolutely. If you're even thinking about getting the DRAGON, do it—you won't regret it! 🚀󻎶

Great system. Love playing my music to hear throughout the house. It did not like the samsung tv no matter what I tried. Works well with the new LG.

Arrived safely, very well packaged and heavy! Had it hooked up in 10 minutes. The unpacking took more time. The main unit is wider than my 65 inch LG OLED TV. But it fits and looks fine.And then the sound. It blows you away! Magnificent when playing atmos movies through Netflix. A nice touch is the info button which shows what type of audio you're listening to. I am very happy!

Best system available for the price. Nothing compares. Not only for cinema but music too is so clean. Your have to pay double this price or more to get a component system to sounds as good.You won't regret it.

As a 20-something in the 90's I vividly recall hearing about Nakamichi and their high end audio products. At the time my budget was limited so I remember thinking that one day I hoped to be able to purchase some of their products. I am very happy to say that day finally came for me and I am a very satisfied customer. The Dragon is a beast! Right out of the box it can be set up in minutes and works great with my CEC and Bluetooth devices. The remote, app, and on-screen menu are simple to operate and can calibrate the speakers to adapt to any room. The best thing is, no expensive installation for wiring those speakers, you just plug everything in and the Dragon will set the room on fire! This system easily outperformed my Onkyo/Klipsh/SVS 7.2 home theater system. Bottom line...get it! BTW, Nakamichi....please tell me you are already working on a mobile Dragon version for the car audio enthusiasts.

This is the best plug and play sound bar out there without a doubt you will not be disappointed of the force of the dragon if you want a home theater look no further than this fabulous soundsystem.

I havent received/or installed it as of yet but i know that it will deliver! I currently have the shockwafe 9.2.4 and love it, so i know that i will be head over heels for this one... Ive also purchase additional subs to make sure i get what i want out of the system... Customer service is awsome! They are very attentive and responsive to any questions asked. They had no problem with my refund of the price change right after purchasing which was a big plus! I will definately be looking for my next upgrade over the next years. Keep up the great work!!!

This soundbar is one of the best overall sounbars I have ever listened too.Very loud easy to install. The sound is clear, distortion free, the bass is very impressive, satellites quality is impressive as well. This system is very very loud. The app let's you to tweak every aspect of the sound to the perfection. Takes time to adjust everything the way you like it. I think this system has great value. Not for everyone. For plug and play customers, I think other brands would be a better choice.PS. The support team is very helpful.

This is the best soundbar i have heard and exceeded my expectations when i got it dialed in to my liking. It is very clear and the bass and surrounds integrate exceptionally well. A cohesive sound. I have the 8's and the bass is wonderful as i use it in a small room 13 x 12. It would definitely work in a bigger room as it is loud but i would personally opt for the 12's if i had to put this in my living room. I would definitely recommend the surround speaker stands from nakamichi as it is of very high quality, heavy and integrates with the speakers flawlessly. Makes it very easy to connect. I had to change the crossover level for the subs and now it's excellent. I have martin logan in living room with folded tweeters and this soundbar is very similar in that aspect. You can read reviews and say ok it must be good but once you purchase yourself you will understand. Only negative is i wish nakamichi would advertise that they are planning on a dragon with 12's subs so as to give customers options to purchase either size because upgrading is very expensive for some.

I love the simplicity of not needing wires running all over the place. Just plug everything into the outlet and you are done. It's sounds great with the dual 8” subwoofers, but I recommend getting both the 8” and the 12” subwoofers if want the Dragon to breathe fire. But be careful that the wife's not home to try and yell at you to turn it down.Enjoy

The Nakamichi Dragon is fabulous! We bought this to replace our 5 year old Nakamichi ShockWafe system. That was a very good system when we got, but the Dragon is on a completely different level!

Totally worth the money…this thing blows everything else away!!!

Don't pass on the opportunity to enhance your entertainment space with the Dragon as you will not be disappointed. I purchased the Dragon after owning a 7.1.4 Onkyo AVR setup, as I got tired of all the wires running down or across side walls, wires getting in the way of vacuums or kids, and speakers everywhere that were in the way of myself walking and kids playing activities. At the end of the day my old AVR sound system consumed the entire living space, and was just an eyesore, so me and my family needed a change, a better way. With the Dragon we found a better way and an ideal solution to replace the AVR eyesore. However we were in for a shock at how loud, clear, and powerful the Dragon is, and how much our movie watching experience improved. My normal listening volume is about 15-20 for 4K Movies. However, The dragon really needs a disclaimer as to how loud it can get because trust me, when I first connected everything, and ran the built in sound demos, I didn't check the default startup volume for the system out the box, and it was so loud that it woke up every one the house trying to figure out what the heck was happening with the walls shaking and sound of a jets flying. Overall, I think this system is ear candy for yourself and your family. I get excited when I watch new Dolby Atmos and new DTS X content, but I also enjoy rewatching older movies to hear the upmix and to hear any details I might have missed with my prior system. PS - Please add a startup max volume and system max volume to the firmware settings because this Dragon beast can get dangerously loud in the wrong hands

The sound is amazing and I love it. It has deep base in it right on point. It's very powerful. The sound is so loud that I can only put the volume up to 20 comfortably. if you are looking for a system that can really put out sound, then the dragon is for you the sound does not distort at all

I have only had a chance to try it with movies. The spoken words are very crisp and clear. The power of the bass never disappoints to put a smile on my face. It truly does sound like the growl of a dragon and surround sound gives me the creeps in horror movies as it catches me off guard, tricking my brain into thinking there is something behind me. I am absolutely in love.

My experience is with music and movies. Not much of a gamer here. The greatest praise I can say is that even movies with modest audio sound so delightful, sounds you never heard before can be heard - speech is so clear and base kicks hard. You already expect the usual suspect movies to sound awesome, but the Dragon makes the unassuming ones sound really good. I was set on getting a receiver and separates, but this system easily replaces the other combination for me. For music, I love the overall quality, clarity and sound levels. I just haven't spent enough quality time listening to tracks I love yet to form a more informed opinion. The menu and settings are extravagant, perhaps between a theater in a box and a full fledged AVR. I was able to dial in the perfect distances and make the audio sound even better. The firmware upgrade has everything sounding even better than before, I didn't think it would, but there is some significant changes in the firmware. I was on the fence on the upgrade, but what sounded awesome already has gotten even better. I only have one hiccup so far, not been able to connect the mobile app because of some unexpected Bluetooth error. I hope an upcoming app update is going to resolve the issue. The Dragon support team have been very prompt and helpful with all my questions. They are also another reason to give the Dragon a 5*

I am loving it. Can't believe the clarity that this system provides. I use to have to set the volume higher for dialog than the actions scenes would be to load not any more. I wasn't sure I would like it since I've always thought separate speakers and AV receiver could not be beat especially being such a Klipsch speaker fan I thought I would have does speakers forever. Not anymore I sold them along with my Yamaha for $1000 to help offset some of this expense which I believe to have been well worth it. No regrets here I love it. I'm still tweaking with the settings but right out of the box I was blown away just like a lot of people have stated in there reviews now I'm echoing those words.

So I came from a Sony HT-A9 system which was already amazingly immersive when it came to the “sound bubble” playing TrueHd 7.1 movies like Ready Player One, Dune, Blade Runner, etc. The dragon needed a fair bit of calibration, tweaking settings, and messing with subwoofer placement before it really blew me away! At first, I just took it out of the box and set it up without much calibration and settings. For movies, his thing is insanely loud and the sound bubble is much larger and more clear than my old system. A particular scene in RPO's race with the gold coins being picked up used to give me ear strain on my Sony setup, but at a similar loudness the dragon's ability to play it clearly and pleasantly is amazing. When it comes to movies and the bubble this thing kills! One of my first gripes was the music, it was not as great for the low bass notes and at first sounded unbalanced. I had to go into the settings in particular here with the distances and volume calibration and really try a handful of subwoofer placements before it BLEW me away. The accuracy of the bass hits is INSANE and although I don't feel it in my chest as much I hear it much more loudly and cleanly; it's kind of strange. If you like to feel your bass versus hearing it that might be a downside for you. All in all definitely worth the purchase for me and I think this is basically endgame system. I see no need to upgrade for another decade. Thanks Nakamichi

My house has finally become a movie theater at home and I didn't even need to install a home theater! The sound that “this BEAST” puts out in the house is on par with that of a movie theater. And, the purity of the sound quality is so wonderful. I played regular TV, movies, music, etc. and I am more than satisfied with the sound quality. I even played some classical music to sample the instruments and I can hear the individual instruments play in the background of an orchestra performance. With this purchase, the way that I feel is that “this BEAST” is the last sound system that I will ever need in my lifetime. This is “the one that rules them all.” The sound quality is so good and so powerful that it penetrates through my body and makes me feel so happy. Turning up the volume from low to high doesn't give you distortion in sound quality, it just gives you what you want to hear, a louder sound, unlike some other so called, “good soundbars” on the market that turned me off. The constant low rumbles in addition to the explosions are just so satisfying as well. “This BEAST” unleashes another dimension to my movies because it pulls me into the movies more so than the lesser soundbars that I've purchased in the past. And yet, the sound, being so good, feels tamed at the same time. I walked into other rooms in my house with the doors closed to find that the sound is noticeable but tamed. I stepped outside of the house (SFH) to see if it was disrupting my neighbors, but no, not as I anticipated. In my opinion, this is truly the most satisfying sound system that I've ever heard, outside of a movie theater. It really does recreate that movie magic feel that I've always wanted at home. It's so easy to set up and so easy to use with other devices. It syncs automatically with all my devices that are attached to the TV without me having to do anything. I love it! Thank you soooo much Nakamichi for putting in the extremely hard work and being persistent in making, not “a product” but “the product” that we really want rather than incremental unsatisfying tweaks. Because of how good “this BEAST” makes me feel, it deserves the highest praise for what it does for customers like me. Again, thank you!

Buying the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 surround system has been one of the most satisfying choices I have ever made. The sound quality is incredible and fills up the room with an immersive experience. Between the high-quality bass shaking up the room and the vertical and horizontal surround dancing around my ears, I am put right in the middle of the movie action. Playing music on the Dragon sounds pristine, full and well balanced. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for the complete movie and music experience.

While you pay for the privilege, the privilege is worth paying for! The clarity and sheer power is awesome. And the Atmos effects are amazing, smooth transitions throughout the sound field. Easily holds up to my older wired system using a Pioneer 11 channel atmos receiver and 2 Bose acoustimass bundles for speakers (including dual Bose powered subs). And while comparable in sound to my Sony HT-A9s and A7000 setups, the Sony's can't touch the raw power and customization the Nakamichi offers. And keep in mind, both Sony systems can only use 1 sub, while this has 4 (yes, two cabinets but 4 individually controllable subs). And IF you had an option for a second sub for the Sony setups, your overall cost for each system would bring you very close to the price of the Nakamichi. So they are similar RELATIVE to what you get! I am team Nakamichi, this is my 4th system from them and can't wait to see what comes next!

This system is blowing my mind away, it's loud, powerful, and clear. Best Dolby atmos out there no question. The demo #2, when a plane flies over you, it's so unreal, it's loud and it vibrates your seat and walls, it's exactly feel like a real plane flies over you. Very aggressive…at pass 30 decimal you start to feel uncomfortable and you start to worry that your neighbors will knock on your door 😂. I love this system and it's worth the price no doubt. I highly recommend it.
