Monster Sound!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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.

It's been a whole year since I got my Nakamichi Dragon and it still continues to amaze me. Exceptional sound quality. Hands down the best sound bar with Dolby Atmos surround and DTS:X support. Small hardware footprint without the hassle of AV receiver and wires yet superior surround performance. Quick and easy setup as well as customization for the type of content. Whether it's music, gaming or movies, click of a button will give you the best experience ever.

A True Audiophile Masterpiece – Nakamichi Dragon Speaker Exceeds Expectations
DRAGON 11.4.6
From the moment I unboxed the Nakamichi Dragon Speaker, I knew I was in for something special. This isn't just a speaker system—it's an experience. The craftsmanship alone screams premium, with a sleek, futuristic design that turns heads and adds a touch of luxury to any room. But it's the sound that truly sets the Dragon apart. The clarity, depth, and immersive quality of the audio are simply unmatched. Whether you're watching an action-packed blockbuster or listening to your favorite music, the soundstage is incredibly rich and lifelike. Every detail—from the deepest bass to the crispest highs—is perfectly balanced. It's like being in a private theater with a world-class sound engineer tuning everything to perfection. What impressed me the most is the system's ability to handle both subtle nuances and explosive dynamics effortlessly. The spatial audio tech makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the action, and the bass? Deep, thunderous, but never overwhelming. Setup was also surprisingly straightforward for such a high-end system. The included manual and app made calibration easy, and connectivity is seamless with all my devices. If you're looking for the ultimate home audio experience and want to invest in top-tier sound performance, the Nakamichi Dragon is worth every penny. It's more than just a speaker—it's a statement.

Nakamichi Sound System with 8” Sub – Clean, Balanced, and Surprisingly Powerful
DRAGON 11.4.6
After installing the Nakamichi system paired with the 8” subwoofer, I've been thoroughly impressed with its overall performance. The soundstage is well-balanced, with clean highs, detailed mids, and tight, responsive low-end frequencies. The 8” sub delivers a surprisingly deep bass response for its size—tight enough to keep up with fast transients, but with enough low-end extension to add real presence to music and movie audio. The crossover integration is seamless; the sub doesn't overpower the mids, and there's no noticeable distortion even at higher volumes. Vocals come through clean, and the system maintains clarity across a variety of genres—from hip-hop to rock to EDM. Build quality is solid—no rattles, no flexing—just clean output. The tuning options allow for fine control, and once dialed in, the system produces sound that punches well above its price point. Whether you're into SQ or just want a powerful daily setup, this Nakamichi combo hits a great balance of performance, value, and reliability.

Best Soundbar System Available
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have owned Sonos and Sony play bar systems, but I decided to give Dragon system a try. I'm glad I did. The voice clarity, pure volume, and now a much better low-end sub solution, the Dragon is the best I've heard by a fair margin. I'm very happy with my purchase and have no desire to even consider other options. For context, I bought the original limited edition production run unit then added one 12” sub. I have a long open room with high ceilings and the dragon fills the space with full articulated and big bass sound. Where the other options I've owned are good, and have strengths, they simply didn't give me the theatrical experience I was hoping for. If you're on the fence, give it a go. I think you'll be very happy with your investment.

We built our new home around the Dragon
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Dragon was the first thing we bought for our new build. My wife and I had just got married. We sold both our homes with plans to build our dream home. I was losing my a dedicated space for my Marantz 7.2.4 AVR setup and had plans to incorporate my gear into the great room of the new build. My new bride wanted a Modern clean look. No bulky speakers. No ceiling speakers (the room is an open floor plan with a 25 foot ceiling). The gear had to look bespoke and disappear in the space. I saw Digital Trends Caleb Denison's CES video (and subsequent review) and was sold. The trick? Convincing my wife that we needed to invest $3800 on a system we couldn't demo first at a Best Buy. She trusted my judgment (and did a bit of research for herself). We bought the system on 08/7/23, got married on 08/26/23 and didn't finish our home build until 10/30/24. So the Dragon sat in it's box in storage for a year before we could even experience it. Again, we built the room around this purchase so our builder helped us precisely install the main unit as well as plug placement for the subs and satellites. The first time we fired it up was on the 1st of November 2024 and it was truly amazing. All we did for 10 minutes straight was cycle through the (2) demo tracks. Since then we have added my OPPO 4k Blu-ray player, PS5, and a Google TV Streamer. I am BLOWN AWAY how this system can reproduce spatial surround sound in an open floor plan space with 25 foot ceilings.

Greatest Ever
DRAGON 11.4.6
Before I start I would like to thank nakamichi first of all the dragon is magical it's not a soundbar it's a instrument of excellence. It turns watching TV into a magnificent experience you become immersed into the program. My Wife didn't like watching television once this beast became alive she couldn't believe what she was witnessing nor did I. I had to upgrade my Netflix prescription to get the full affect of dolby atmos to go along with my LG Oled 77 inch TV which has dolby vision. Even when the phone rings on the show your watching you pause the show to answer your phone but no one is calling you so you get some what embarrassed the press play to get back to the action you hear every whisper or bomb explosion perfectly. The combination of tweeters, drivers and bass alongside with the up firing real dolby atmos from dolby itself makes it all worthwhile. The real reason I is because nakamichi started out with audio equipment their decades of professionalism added with just what the consumer wants is the best combination ever. I played my audio files from my phone and through my TV damn sure didn't disappoint it was like live instruments that were precisely orchestrated I've never been so appreciative in my life as with The Dragon don't know how they will top this but I know it's coming and I'm more than happy with what I have. The Nakamichi Dragon Is The Best Ever Top Of The Competition Just Like Mount Everest.

We play video games, watch movies, watch social media on here and the sound is just amazing makes you feel like your there in the moment of the movie where sounds come from the direction as the movie, if the plane is flying over it sounds like it, if your in a rain forest the animals sounds like they are all around you making you feel like if you turn your head you might see the animals beside you, the sound of the ocean and waves crashing makes it feel like you are at the beach. Works amazing with my entertainment system just plug in and it'll automatically pick the source or you can pick it yourself. Best sound system we have ever owned plus it's Bluetooth so no running wires around your house!

Best Surround System I've Ever Owned!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have owned surround systems since the late 90's - first a 5.1, then a 7.1, and now The Dragon. The Dragon is the best surround system I have ever owned! I bought the original launch unit with the four 8" subs and added a single 12" sub when it was made available. The extra sub makes a huge difference! Deep, rich, loud, and full sound. Also appreciate the inclusion of legacy inputs so I can connect my turntable and cassette deck. This system is perfect if installing height channels in the ceiling is not feasible. I've had my Dragon for over a year and a half and I still love it as much now as I did then!

DRAGON 11.4.6
My experiences with nakamichi has always been positive. Their support staff has been wonderful. I've had some connectivity problems with the remote/tv working with the dragon . The lg cx handshake has to be rebooted when my wife puts the tv in pause mode . I've owned Sonos , ambeo , Bose 900 and Sony's best snd the nakamichi dragon slays them all . The other brands are ok for the average person but the nakamichi dragon blows the other brands out of the water in fidelity ,atmos ,base , and overall immersion. I feel like I'm in the trex theater at my hometown movie theater . Different streaming services affect the sound quality so don't be too quick to judge the dragoon . Absolutely love my dragon system from nakamichi . I was a one of 500 of the first units . I would love to win a 12” sub woofer and it would be the icing on the cake. Thanks nakamichi for a great product. , it's 2nd to none.

Nakamichi does it again! I just upgraded to the Dragon! 🐉
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

Best of the Best
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

Fantastic soundbar system!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

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.

A mythical creature has become a real part of my life.
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

BEST SOUND BAR PERIOD
DRAGON 11.4.6
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! 🚀󻎶

Godzilla returns
DRAGON 11.4.6
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.

Best Home Theater Sound System Ever
DRAGON 11.4.6
The sound quality is incredible—easily the best I've ever experienced. It's impressively powerful, capable of filling even the largest rooms with ease. I've been using it at lower settings, and my media room still rumbles with rich, immersive sound. The Dolby Atmos performance is outstanding, surpassing anything I've heard even on high-end setups at Best Buy. You feel everything come alive with so much high fidelity sound and Atmos placement (above and all around you) - Trust me this beats those $10K Home Theater heavy/bulky setups that I have heard at my friends home and now they tell if they had bought THE DRAGON. I'm absolutely thrilled with my Dragon and plan to keep it forever—I love everything about it!

Outstanding Product with Awesome sound
DRAGON 11.4.6
This is an outstanding product and has some really great sound output. The movies sound as they would in a theatre, positional audio in Xbox and PS5 games are perfect, Youtube sound effects in demonstration videos sound great. You need to do the distance and wall height adjustments for best sound. I think for a home setup this is perfect as there is option to tweak sound if required but i found out of box setup to be perfect. Note that you cannot go over volume setting of 20 (max 100) as this thing is becomes very loud but there is no distraction. The best test of this system is the movie Swordfish and the sound effects they have in this movie. One other aspect is for pure vocal lovers, this system will blow your mind, its that great.

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.

Best sound from a soundbar!!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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.

It's a big powerful system
DRAGON 11.4.6
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

Impressive
DRAGON 11.4.6
I bought dragon as a discounted open unit. I have the Shockwave ultra as well for comparison. I had randomly annoying connection issues with the ultra that drove me crazy which is why I purchased the dragon. This thing is a beast literally. I wanted a soundar because I needed a smaller footprint and this unit delivered. The wireless signal can be increased for better connection but I didn't need to do that. There are a few things that I don't like but maybe I'm being picky. It has 4k passthrough but it doesn't work when the unit is off like my 10 year avr unit did. I like that because I game online and wear my headset so it's pointless to have the dragon powered up when I don't need it. For that reason I have my Xbox plugged to one of my HDMI inputs and the dragon plugged to my earc. My Blu-ray player is plugged to the dragon however. I'm still dialing in the calibration for my living room but I'm still impressed. The highest I've had the volume is 15 and that's nowhere near what it can do. I live in apartment so I have to be considerate of my neighbors. A true equalizer would be nice for the price this unit commands. Again I'm I'm used to having a full avr setup. The subs on this unit could be better.The 10 inch subs from the Shockwave sound way better and hit the frequencies good. Many people have complained about this which is why I did not want to spend 4k on the dragon and ended up going with the Shockwave ultra instead. I have the dual opposing 8s by the way. There are people that did a workaround to add stand-alone subs this unit and got the bass they wanted. You can always spend more and get a dual 12 set up but that was over my price range. If go with the dragon or it's slightly smaller sibling the Shockwave ultra you can't go wrong. They both deliver.

Wife wanted a wireless system to get rid of all the speaker cables. Went from a $1200 Onkyo, $600 center channel, and a $3000+ surround speaker system with a 10” sub to this. The Nakamichi Dragon sounds way better! Don't listen to all those negative reviews. This system is totally BA! Do I plan on upgrading to add on the dual 12” subs when they come out? You bet your A I do! But only so I can have 4 subs and feel explosions hit me right in the chest. System is just as good as going to the Dolby theater!

An Absolute Game-changer
DRAGON 11.4.6
I've had my Nakamichi Dragon system for eight incredible months now, and it's an absolute game-changer! To enhance the experience, I paired it with an 83-inch LG OLED G4 TV. The combination creates a symphony of sound that perfectly complements the stunning visuals of the LG TV. Previously, I had a 77-inch LG OLED Wallpaper TV that came with its own soundbar. However, when I moved to a new residence with significantly taller ceilings, the old system struggled to keep up with the expanded living room dimensions. But the Dragon sound system proved to be more than capable of handling the new space. I now have a movie theater-level Dolby Atmos sound system at home, rendering the desire to ever visit a movie theater obsolete. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Nakamichi for creating such a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing sound system that perfectly integrates into my home setup. Again, many thanks! I'm a new customer but with this purchase you've got me for life!! Best Regards, James Beverly Hills CA

GOAT - Dragon soundbar
DRAGON 11.4.6
Just WOW! This Dragon system is unlike anything I've ever owned. If you can afford one, you'll NOT regret it! So I had an older 7.1.4 setup with an Onkyo AVR. Wires EVERYWHERE and my robot vacuum will get tangled once a month or two, it was a real pain. I didn't realize how much of an eyesore it was until I set up the Dragon and got that clean, no clutter look in about 25 minutes. When I turned this thing on for the first time, my whole HOUSE shook. No joke, I didn't even check the volume settings before starting one of the demos, and it felt like a jet was flying right through my living room. I woke up my whole family! It was insane! Nakamichi should add a disclaimer about the startup volume because this beast can be dangerously loud. But that's the fun part. I've started rewatching some of my old favorites just to see how the Dragon handles them, and let me tell you, it's like hearing them for the first time! Dodgers vs Yankees, Dolby Atmos, DTS X, all of it sounds amazing. Dialogues are clearer, the bass hits HARD, and the surround feels like the sounds are coming from all around you,super immersive. And the best part? No more wires all over the place! Only thing I'd change is maybe adding an option to set a max startup volume in the settings. And I hope Nakamichi continues to support this with firmware updates because this Dragon deserves to stay updated. Anyway, I'm absolutely thrilled. Trust me, get this sound system, sit back, and let the Dragon work its magic! Thank you Nakamichi.

What an awesome buy if you're looking for a very loud soundbar. I read a lot of reviews before I bought this dragon. And YES it's a beast! It really delivers the sound and volume that you're looking for. At night when everyone is asleep I put it on a night mood and WOW! I'm very impressed. It's amazing what a soundbar can do. I love this thing! It's heavy and loud! I unpacked one package at a time by myself. I only weigh 147 and I'm skinny. Loved it putting it all together! I bought the dragon towers as well. It was like putting together a puzzle. So easy and fun. Thank you ALL Nakamichi team and volunteers and everyone and everything that makes this product what it is and stands for. You all did it again! I'm excited for next year to get the 12” dragon system! I'm going deep in my pockets again and I'm going to be upgrading With four subwoofers dragon! I really can't wait. I'm all excited! Thank you all Nakamichi once again for all of the hard work long hours and your skills to make a theater in my bedroom. Your ALL are awesome to me! Thank you!

Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Surround System Offers Amazing Sound for the Money
DRAGON 11.4.6
After extensive research for a high-quality surround system, we decided to purchase the Nakamichi Dragon. Our requirements included a sound system that was easy on the eyes, included wireless subwoofers and the 360-degree side speakers. We are truly impressed with the Nakamichi Dragon's ability to deliver clear sound throughout a large living room with 20' tall ceilings. The up-firing speakers in the main soundbar and side speakers add incredible realism to movies and music. Some folks have complained about the lack of bass, but I have to disagree. The two subwoofers are more than sufficient to shake pictures off the wall if you wanted to. The demo soundtrack provided with the system is amazing and will leave you speechless. Sometimes I hit the demo button for guests just to watch their faces, or when I want to smile about this purchase. Nakamichi's technical support is second to none, they are extremely knowledgeable and respond immediately. We needed a little help with the initial setup and recently encountered a synchronization issue which Jeff quickly identified as a TV issue related to a Samsung's built-in sound delay which he guided us to turn off. Problem solved. While the cost for the Nakamichi system may seem high, consider that we have a Yamaha AV amplifier driving Bowers and Wilkens a subwoofer, a large center speaker system, and twin tower speakers which cost about six times more for sound quality that is better, but not $20,000 better. Additionally, the Nakamichi system has killer looks that are more subtle than our traditional AV system especially for a living room. I think you will be hard pressed to find a better surround system for the money and a company that provides the level of customer service as Nakamichi. Buy with confidence.

Dragon with 12" Subwoofers far exceeded my expectations
DRAGON 11.4.6
After years of searching for a true home theater experience without the hassle of a full installation, I was skeptical that any soundbar could deliver. Previous attempts with other popular soundbars, including the Sonos Arc and Samsung Q990D, left me disappointed. They simply couldn't match the power and clarity of my $22K dedicated theater setup. Then I tried the Nakamichi Dragon, and I was blown away. I recently moved into a new house in Vegas and put together a 9.2.6 system in my 30L x 22W home theater room. My setup includes a Denon AV1H receiver with all Wharfedale EVO speakers, totaling well over $20,000. While I'm thrilled with the theater room, my wife and I wanted something simpler for the living room—something accessible enough for family nights and entertaining guests, but powerful enough to impress. After the Sonos and Samsung didn't meet our standards, I gave the DRAGON a shot, and I'm extremely glad I did. The Dragon's unique AMT tweeters were a gamechanger for me. They deliver an unmatched clarity that brought me back to my Wharfedale setup. Unlike other soundbars, this Nakamichi system uses AMTs in both the main bar and surrounds, making vocals razor sharp and effects incredibly immersive. Installation took only 30 minutes—no tangled wires or need for professional help. Despite my living room's slightly vaulted ceilings and open layout, the Dragon adapted beautifully, filling the room with deep, rich sound.The first movie we watched was Mad Max: Fury Road with Atmos. It was as if Max himself was stomping right next to us—so powerful, you could almost feel the crunch beneath his boots. Every moment comes alive, from the thunderous bass to the crystal clear dialog, and the precision of the surround effects makes it feel like you're in the center of the action. I tested this system with reference movies like Edge of Tomorrow, Gravity, Dunkirk, and Pacific Rim. The Dragon didn't just hold its own—it soared. Explosions shook the room, eerie silences felt thick with tension, and the chaotic dogfights were delivered with pinpoint accuracy. The Dragon's six upfiring height speakers add a whole new layer to the experience, creating height effects that feel truly spectacular. With Atmos soundtracks, these speakers bring an immersive vertical layer that feels incredibly lifelike. During scenes in Gravity, for instance, I could hear debris whizzing overhead with precision, as though it were truly happening above me. In Pacific Rim, when the Jaegers and Kaiju clash, the sound fills the entire room from top to bottom, making each battle feel epic. The upfiring speakers work seamlessly with the rest of the system, allowing you to feel sounds soaring above, whether it's the swoop of helicopters in Dunkirk or the echoing footsteps in a cavernous environment. For a soundbar system to recreate this level of height and depth so close to the performance of my full Atmos setup is remarkable. The system's performance is on par with setups costing several times more. Now, we're spending over 70% of our movie time in the living room with the DRAGON. With technology like this, I'm confident that the DRAGON will set the standard for home theater sound for years to come. For anyone looking to invest in a sound system that won't need an upgrade anytime soon, this is it. The Nakamichi DRAGON has redefined what I thought a soundbar could do, delivering an immersive, powerful, and refined experience. If you're on the fence, don't be. The DRAGON will be the benchmark for soundbars for years to come. I am very tempted to add two more 12” subwoofers, but the only challenge is finding the space - because the sound is already massive.

The Dragon is fire 🔥🔥🔥
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have installed several soundbars in the last 5 years and for the Dragon Experience- this is by far the simplest and most aesthetically pleasing plug and play on the market. OOBE- The bass response is unbelievable, mids and highs do not get lost in the explosive power of the Nakamichi Dragon, voices remain clear and distinct due to the AMTs even within intense action scenes. Spatial Audio reproduction with Dolby Atmos and Multi Channel PCM with The Nakamichi Dragon -is certainly the undisputed G.O.A.T. when compared to any other soundbar system available today. The most important aspects in establishing that premium Spatial Audio experience is calibrating the Dragon within the OSD for your viewing environment, combined with equipment placement. If you want to revolutionize your living room and have a movie theater in your own home- The Dragon is it. Period.

Blows you away! Literally!
DRAGON 11.4.6
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE! This has got to be the best system I've owned. It was very easy to setup. The 12”s are 90lbs, so I recommend having a second person. It can be done with one because I did it, but two would have made it much easier. The sound. OOOOH the sound! It's better than going to the movie theater. Between Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Pro, this system is nothing shy of wicked. The upfiring speakers bring an incredibly immersive experience. The 2 12” subs (highly recommend) make it feel like the explosions are happening right there! The build quality is obvious. No wires! Some people will sneer at Bluetooth, but this system handles heavy lifting like a champ. You will want to calibrate it. This is nothing new for people that have owned surround sound before. For the newbies, don't skip this step. It does make a world of difference. I did need to reach out to Nakamichi for something, but they handled it amazingly, and professionally. They stand behind their product. If you ever wind up adding this system to your home, you'll see why they do. I can't say enough about how worth every penny the dragon is. Please do yourself a favor and bring this home. You will not regret it.

this system is the greatest, i replaced my enclave cinehome pro system with the dragon, no contest, the dragon does things that no other soundbar will ever do, the remote is great, the phone app is flawless, and the appearance of the unit is stupendous, there is no system to replace the dragon.

Almost the perfect soundbar.
DRAGON 11.4.6
I had the top Samsung and, prior to that, the Sonos soundbar. The Nakamichi has superior sound quality. The frequency response of the subs should be lower, and it would be perfect (I have the 8” subs).

Single box pack is fine
DRAGON 11.4.6
Single box is ok for me as I have the ability to carry it around. It is long which makes it a bit awkward getting through doorways. Box was well cushioned and each part came out perfectly. Multi-box packaging would make it easier to track although I have some concerns that the more easily moved smaller boxes would be tossed around more through the shipping process.

1 year of ownership and my honest opinion… Pros: If you want the loudest system… ✅ If you're tired of Closed Captions… ✅ If you dream of crisp, clean audio… ✅ If you don't want speaker wires everywhere… ✅ If you want to feel like you're in the movie… ✅ If you want bragging rights for having the Ultimate Audio System for Music, Movies & Games… ✅ Con: Going broke because you'll be spending the rest of your monies on 4K-Ultra HD movies because the Dragon's ability to slay ATMOS Technology with its 11.4.6. channels is just simply jaw dropping & amazing. I own this system and I approve this message… ✅

Best Sound System I've Ever Heard
DRAGON 11.4.6
I usually don't do a lot of reviews for the products I buy but man I must do a review on this beast. The Nakamichi Dragon is by far the best sound I've ever heard. My father had a bose sound system since 1999 before I was born, so going from that is this is absolutely the biggest upgrade. The charity on this system is insane for a soundbar, and the subwoofers are no joke they kick. Thank you Nakamichi for creating such an amazing sound system and making the movies I watch more immersive.

Not an Expert, but Pretty Good to Me
DRAGON 11.4.6
This is the best speaker system I have ever used. The downside is that I may not be willing to endure the inferior sound of lesser-quality speaker systems in my home. I might have to buy another system for my other TV. I have hearing issues and sometimes turn the sound too high on the other speaker system. But, with the Nakamichi Dragon, I don't need it so loud, because the sound quality makes up for the increased loudness the other system needs to compensate. Should you buy one? I don't know -- only you can decide. If you want to give a stranger a vote in your decision, my vote would be YES. It's expensive, but I believe it's worth it. Splurge and reward yourself. Get one and enjoy.

This is the best system you can get for the price! It's convenient having no extra speaker wire, amp etc. This thing is easy to install and is plug and play.

Don't go off of main stream reviews!
DRAGON 11.4.6
After debating for years to obtain a Nakamichi since the Shockwave series that was 7.1.4. I'm very happy I waited patiently until the release of the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6. It came well packaged and a very easy setup, roughly took me about 45 minutes to complete my setup. The demo completely blew me and the family away. I came from a traditional setup with a receiver 7.2 and the difference is completely night and day. Some of the best features is that set up is quick and easy, multiple configurations can be easily and effortless formed with the Nakamichi Dragon. The best thing I love about this system is that the dialogue can be heard even on the lowest of settings, when the family is sleeping I can easily game and watch shows comfortably at audio levels of 1-3 (Yes , you read that right). When we are all watching something together or if it's a movie night Audio levels are range from 7-13 with. Mind you we are in a medium size, but if you like having a cinematic experience at home. I fully recommend the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6! And now with them coming out with 12" Subwoofers you can truly expand and have more options for your setup. We choose this system because of the easy set up, easy to modify for different spaces, and not having to run cables and wires like I did for my older traditional system. There are wires involved but only for the two sub-woofers and two satellite speakers. Other than the optional upgrade to the new sub-woofers they just recently announced. You have everything you need to have one the of the best experiences for gaming and watching movies with the Nakamich Dragon 11.4.6.

DRAGON 11.4.6
I brought my Dragon from B&H instead of Amazon. B&H delivered in 2 days. Amazon was going to take a a week and a half. When I got delivery they placed it in the house. The box did not have any damage on it. The plastic wrap wasn't even broken. Just be warned the box is heavy. Also I didn't buy the dragon speaker stands. I already spend $3,600.00. it didn't make sense to me to spend another $400.00 for the Dragon stands. Brought the ELIVED Universal Speaker Stands Height Adjustable 28"-37.4" instead. They are more than large enough to hold the back speakers. As the photo shows my theater room is over my garage. So the ceiling is angled. This surprisingly makes the systems Atmos seem more emersive. You seem to be sitting in what ever you're watching. My wife thought I was nuts when I told her what I paid for the system. But after it ran through it's demo start up. She had a big Kool aid grin on her face. I must say the dragon hits in a viseral way. My only beef is now Nakamichi comes out with the12" subs at $1,600.00 a speaker. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I feel if you already own the system. You should get a half off discount. Yea $800.00 is still expensive. But I would pay it. Now 2 of them would be $1,600.00 not $3,200.00. And I want you to think on that, because that is the current price of the full system. The new price of the Dragon with the 4 12" subs will be 9k. I feel nakamichi will not move many units at that price point. Don't get me wrong. I love my Dragon and 3.5k I have no problem paying because I see the value. But 9k? That would be a hard pass. No thanks.

Very powerful. Subs are strong as are the rear speakers. Motion tweeters help with vocals and precision. Ideal for Atmos sound with all the upfiring speakers in the soundbar and rears. So good, I bought another Dragon, so I now have 2. I mostly have full theater rooms, but the Dragon can now replace those systems, especially for Atmos applications.

Dishonest marketing and business practice
DRAGON 11.4.6
Let me start by saying that if you care about a system that is loud and imposing this is the one. Now let's go the cons: -Company advertising subwoofer that go down to 20hz, they certainly don't ... not even close ... they have a lot of impact at 40hz but anything bellow this will make them bottom out and sound terrible. -Company acting like we are crazy and saying reviewers are lying, then releasing a new subwoofer with a label that show down to 19hz as a add-on for 1500$ each subwoofers .... -Saying they came out with these subwoofer due to owners complains but not admitting that the original product is faulty. Do not buy this product, you will be voting with your money that you agree with those type of business practice.

Truly impressed, would give it 6 stars if possible.

Unleashing Sonic Excellence: A Deep Dive into the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 System!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I recently upgraded to the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 system, and it has completely transformed my home theater experience. As someone deeply passionate about high-quality audio, I can confidently say that this system delivers exceptional performance and value.Setup and Installation:The installation process was smooth and user-friendly. The system's modular design allows for flexible placement, and the detailed instructions made setup straightforward. Calibration tools are included, ensuring that you can fine-tune the audio to match your space perfectly.Audio Performance:The Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 provides an incredibly immersive sound experience. The 11 speakers and 4 subwoofers create a rich, expansive soundstage with impressive clarity and depth. Whether it's the thunderous effects of action scenes or the subtle details of classical music, every nuance is captured with precision.Compared to other soundbars on the market, such as the Sonos Arc or the Samsung Q990D, the Dragon 11.4.6 stands out with its superior audio performance. While those soundbars offer solid sound, the Dragon's 11.4.6 configuration with its multiple subwoofers and speakers delivers a more dynamic and enveloping surround sound experience, bringing a new level of realism and immersion.The system's support for Dolby Atmos and DTSis a standout feature. The height channels contribute to a genuine sense of verticality, enhancing the overall realism of the audio.

Their team is responsive and knowledgeable, providing valuable assistance throughout the setup process.The Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Awesome system
DRAGON 11.4.6
I bought this system to use in my bedroom as I already have a $50,000+ full set up for my home theater. I don't mention that to brag but to say that I have experience with some pretty decent equipment. That being said, I love the dragon and wouldn't hesitate to buy it for a home theater setup given the quality for the money. Sure, soundbars aren't ever going to give you the same dispersion or soundstage as separates and the subwoofers aren't going to go infrasonic but I would be very happy if this was all I could afford or if I had size constraints. Setup was very easy and adjustments are as well. The lack of microphone calibration is a bit of a bummer but I have yet to experience a software solution that doesn't require significant adjustments post calibration anyway. Highly recommended

The demo start up sound and you know you just bought the most awesome soundbar system in the world. Period. Then you put on your content. It hits you clean and clear with all the Bass you will ever need. If you're a sound enthusiast this is a very satisfying system. Thank you Nakamichi. You guys ROCK

The Dragon Delivers!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I was hesitant to spend $4,000.00 on a "soundbar" but man I am sure glad I did! The setup was incredibly simple and right out of the box the demos were incedible. I could actually track things with my ears like a bird that flew in a circle flying up and down around the room! The plane flying overhead is incredible too.After some adjustments, it was time to watch a 4K bluray disc. Sound placement is perfect, punchy bass coming in at just the right time. A jump scare where a woman screams off camera to the left startled me! It sounded like she was actually in the room off to the side screaming at me!This system is so much more than a simple soundbar, It's an AVR in soundbar form.The setup and configuration is easy and very straightforward - If you can plug in HDMI cables, plug power cords into an outlet or surge protector and turn an Allen wrench then you have all the skills you need and you'll be up and running in 15-20 minutes.The phone app is a nice touch as well. It performs many of the features the remote that comes with the Dragon does.I have an open plan living room with an angled vaulted ceiling and the surround effects still work their magic. I can't even begin to describe how pleased I am with this system!Nakamichi hit this one out of the park!Nakamichi, thank you for creating such a masterpiece! I give you 10 Stars out of 5!

One word.......AMAZING
DRAGON 11.4.6
Got the Dragon after doing quite a bit of research. We have large, open living room with 20' ceilings and a 120" laser tv. Previous audio systems that we had struggled just to provide clear dialog for movies, let alone a cinema experience so we decided to take the plunge and match our cinema style screen with an audio system that corresponded. I was initially concerned about the Dragon's Atmos performance in this type of open concept, but once I ran thought the set up calibration steps using the OSD, I realized that this thing lives up to all of the hype. Super deep low end, clear mids and crisp highs, along with Atmos effects that don't disappoint. We opted to get the Dragon speaker stands for the surrounds, which are extremely well built and provide a sleek, modern aesthetic. It's not an inexpensive system, and it won't be for everyone, but we are truly happy with our purchase and the support that Nakamichi Ninja Service provided along the way.

The Best Wireless Surroud with Customer Service to Match
DRAGON 11.4.6
I purchased this system that is rightfully more of a wireless surround sound system, rather than a wireless soundbar. The packaging is excellent and the build quality excellent with the possible exception being that one might argue the soundbar top grill should be more heavy duty. Setup is straight forward and it is easy to be up and running within minutes with great sound quality. Excellent sound quality is at your fingertips with relatively easy in-depth adjustment through the Nakamichi Dragon app. The soundstage is excellent for the price range with very well executed vocals, bass, highs, and atmos projection. It could use more punchy midrange, but hopefully this can be addressed in an update.I contacted Nakamichi customer support several times prior to purchasing. They were accessible, very informative, and clearly care about producing a happy customer. Would definitely recommend this product. If Nakamichi or others are interested, I recorded the unboxing and could do reviews.

Let's Get Ready to Rumble!
DRAGON 11.4.6
Updated After 3 Months of Ownership:I upgraded from the Shockwafe (1300W) system to the Dragon in early July, and have spent the past 3 months using the system on a nightly basis, listening to a ton of music and watching tons of movies and sports. My overall impression is that it sounds fantastic. It is extraordinarily loud and detailed. DTS:X soundtracks on 4K UHD Blu rays sound to be genuinely movie theater level quality. Dolby Atmos, too. Everything else sounds fantastic, but 4K Blu Rays are where this soundsystem really shines.Now for the unfortunate: My first soundbar was completely defective. And it took about 2 months before Nakamichi relented and sent me a new one. I had to wait over a week without the soundbar, as well, while it was in transit. Not the best experience after spending so much on a sound system. I am sharing this in the event that someone else purchases a system and has the same experience.Right out of the box, something felt off with my first soundbar. It just didn't quite sound right. But I figured I was just adjusting to a new sound profile. However, constant connectivity issues plagued my Dragon. I was constantly getting a black screen whenever I switched devices or even just switching out one blu ray for another from the disc player attached to my soundbar. I was also experiencing interference with the surround speakers, and surround speaker dropouts. Things just weren't working well.I underwent months of troubleshooting with Nakamichi before they finally agreed to send me a new one. Since receiving the new one almost a month ago, I've had zero issues. No more connectivity issue whatsoever, and the sound is just way better overall. Clearly the original soundbar I was sent was defective. So...if you buy this system and aren't getting out of it what was advertised, demand a replacement. Lemons are very real with electronics, especially a brand new product like this that is doing a bunch of stuff never done before.Also, one of my subs developed a horrible rattling noise coming from inside the port after a couple months. Nakamichi immediately swapped it out for me.My two cents? This is an awesome soundbar product that is ahead of its time. But like most ahead of their time products, there are some flaws and issues that have yet to be fully worked out by the manufacturer. I am still very happy with this sound system, because it sounds amazing and is meeting my expectations now. But for a while, I was stressed and disappointed by it. I am glad I stuck it out and ultimately got the replacement, because now it is awesome.As a bottom line, here is my recommendation: If you are relatively new to the soundbar world, you will probably be better off with the Shockwafe. It is significantly cheaper, and it sounds great. I never had any issues with my Shockwafe. I'm listening to it now in the kitchen. It's a great sound system. If you already have the Shockewafe or a similar system and you want to upgrade, go for it. I don't think you will regret it.

Truly a beast, an Atmos system for the rest of us
DRAGON 11.4.6
With TVs, there's a great deal of options across the entire budget spectrum. There are good high end options that cost $3-4K, insanely high end options that cost $15-20K+, and budget options that cost $200. And everything in between. With home theater sound though, I've always felt kind of abandoned in that mid-high end range. My options in my price range were to spend $10K+ on a proper Atmos system for my home, with all the pain and cost of installation, complicated set up, and many points of failure...or to settle for a soundbar system that doesn't hold a candle to top line professional 11.4.6 systemsThe Dragon fills that hole in the market perfectly. In TV terms, it is the Sony A95L, Samsung S95D, or LG G4 of soundbars. Definitely pricey, but that $3-4K range is reachable for home theater enthusiasts with some disposable income, even if they aren't full on millionaires. And it's worth every penny once you hear it. It's able to be stunningly loud without being overpowering, it's able to be subtle without losing the sense of cinematic scale you want. I've used a fair amount of super rich people's high end home theaters, and mine now sounds better than all of them, just by plugging in a few cords. I would never have guessed a system with this few physical components could sound this good.If you can get your hands on one, go for it. I promise you will not be disappointed.

The Dragon slays along with excellent customer service from Nakamichi
DRAGON 11.4.6
I bought the Nakamichi Dragon, which was to be delivered by UPS between 1-3 pm. Of course, they delivered it when no one was home and couldn't be signed for. The problem was that I was getting married and away on my honeymoon so multiple delivery attempts would fail and then it would get sent back. UPS was useless and uncooperative. I contacted Ray at Nakamichi and he responded so fast and had it delivered to a nearby UPS center so I could pick it up! Amazing service!! Now, on to the Dragon. This thing is serious!! My TV in the pics, is 55" so you can see the size of this! Along with the size comes awesome sound and clarity. I hooked up everything and turned it on and hit the demo and my God, my room was alive...lol. Now mind you, I had a Samsung 990C and that was no slouch but the Dragon slays!!! What makes it even better is that you can calibrate it like a traditional AVR. I put in the distances and then calibrated the sound to 75 dB and what an even better experience!! Top Gun: Maverick sounds incredible. Saving Private Ryan is another go-to to test its chops. I love this sound system. While it may look like a soundbar, it's more like an AVR system minus all the speaker cables. If you have the money and want an incredible surround system, then get this!! You won't be disappointed. One last thing. Nakamichi does an incredible job with the packaging and attention to detail in the manuals, including accessories. Top-notch!!

The Dragon Slays along with Nakamichi's service
DRAGON 11.4.6
I bought the Nakamichi Dragon and it was to be delivered by UPS between 1-3 pm. Of course, they deliver it when no one was home and couldn't be signed for. The problem was, is that I was getting married and be away on my honeymoon so multiple delivery attempts would fail and then it would get sent back.UPS was useless and uncooperative. I contacted Ray at Nakamichi and he responded so fast and had it delivered to a nearby UPS center so I could pick it up! Amazing service!!Now, on to the Dragon. This thing is serious!! My TV in the pics, is 55" so you can see the size of this! Along with the size comes awesome sound and clarity. I hooked up everything and turned it on and hit the demo and my God, my room was alive...lol. Now mind you, I had a Samsung 990C and that was no slouch but the Dragon slays!!!What makes it even better is that you can calibrate it like a traditional AVR. I put in the distances and then calibrated the sound to 75 dB and what a even better experience!! Top Gun: Maverick sounds incredible. Saving Private Ryan is another go to to test its chops.I love this sound system. While it may look like a sound bar, it's more like an AVR system minus all the speaker cables.

Its a great system
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Dragon rocks. I also have the 9.2.4 shockwafe which is a great system as well and the Dragon is an improvement. The price for the Dragon is kinda pricey but if your blessed financially well enough to get it then I think you should get it. I also have a $13,000 yamaha 11.2.4 and klipsch system in my dedicated theater room and the Nakamichi does not beat it but it comes close and it is a fraction of the cost.I had made a review with less stars because the Dragon was less satisfactory but come to find out it was in my settings that made it not perform like it should. I was getting pcm where it should have been dolby digital plus and I was getting Dolby Atmos Mat where it should have been dolby digital plus dolby Atmos. But support had me to disable a setting on my earc and now the dragon is getting the right codecs. Im very happy now

The Lamborghini of Soundbar systems
DRAGON 11.4.6
First of all the packaging alone on this system is of higher quality than most other actual sound systems. When you get it out of the box and set up be prepared for outstanding, fully immersive sound quality. Pricey but well worth it if you looking for a top tier sound system.

In a class of its own
DRAGON 11.4.6
I am modifying my original review because Jeff from Customer Support reached out to me and resolved my issues.I primarily bought the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 to complement my Sony A95L TV. It's performance as a home theater blew my family out of the water. Its presets offer realistic sound, unmatched by much pricier home theater systems, and its flexibility in configuration (like a 1-touch ‘Night' mode) makes it a pleasure to use. Setup was a breeze, and the perceivable difference in sound quality was immediate (I tried out quite a few configurations at Best Buy as a comparison).Here's the icing on the cake: given that we didn't have a good stereo system, I was hoping to have my home theater serve that purpose. I had to perform a few tweaks (like turning off the two outward-facing sub-drivers, leaving one in each cabinet active as described in another review) and saving it as a preset, and voila—I have an immersive audio experience from my Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6!You can't go wrong with this purchase!

Best Soundbar
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have been interested in the Dragon since it was first announced, but I already had a Nakamichi Shockwave that I loved, so why spend the money? This year I finally decided I had to have it. It is like no other surround sound system I have ever had. I have had Marantz receiver's with Cerwin Vega speakers that I thought were out of this world sound, this system destroys that. I simply have never heard anything like it from such a simple set up. So, thank you again for releasing this sound bar, I have no regrets and continuously tweak it for even better sound. I could not be happier.

Best surround system and incredible customer service
DRAGON 11.4.6
Not only is this system fantastic and a major upgrade from the Shockwave EARC truly providing you with a movie theater experienceBut what I'm more impressed with is Nakamichi's care for their customers. Their customer service is top notch. They've responded quickly to any issue I've had. Had a bad right sub (most likely damaged during shipping) that they replaced immediately, without making me hassle to justify the swap.I also purchased this on June 7 and was bummed when I saw they recently lowered the priced. I reached out about it and honored their 30 day price match guarantee and refunded me the difference. I was ready to swallow the missed opportunity but man they came through and I'm just really grateful overall for both their products and their staff.

Outstanding Product and Customer service!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I wondered if the system performance could match its admittedly premium price and if it could come close to my Denon 7.4.6 AVR setups. To my surprise, after tweaking things with the help of the FB forum and a bit of break in, this thing has EXCEEDED my expectations! It is able to provide a truly immersive sound experience in my 20x18 room that opens to the kitchen of the same size. I had to reach out for a customer service item (non product). My issue was resolved within 30 mins! Will definitely purchase from them again! Quality product and quality company! Oh yeah, initial setup took no more than 15 mins if that. Took me longer to unbox the thing, lol.

This soundbar is simply the best there is currently available. Nothing even comes close. I also own the Nakamichi ShockWafe 9.2.4 eARC and am very pleased with this upgrade. In addition, Nakamichi is an amazing company. Their customer service is amazing and they go above and beyond the call of duty with each interaction. You won't find this with many other companies. They truly care about their customers.I will never buy another brand for home theater audio going forward!

BEYOND AWESOME!!! - NAKAMICHI – DRAGON 11.4.6
DRAGON 11.4.6
NAKAMICHI – DRAGON 11.4.6 - BEYOND AMAZING!!After searching far and wide for an immersive audio surround sound system in my living room.I settled on purchasing the ‘Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 – I am not at all disappointed!ORDERING –Ordering through Amazon was EASY!SHIPPING/DELIVERY - Approximately 4-5 Days.I used tracking for delivery date to personally inspect the box packaging while the UPS truck had arrived. No physical damage to the shipping box. Great Shipping! Zero Issues!UNPACKING –UPS kindly placed the 150 lb. box inside my garage door for safety, until I was ready for unpacking.I had planned out the living room areas for sub-woofer and surround speaker locations.I wore soft gloves, as I unpacked and carried every piece to its place, so as to not leave finger print smudges on every surface, apparently the sound bar is prone to finger prints smudges. I carefully unpacked the 35 lb. sound bar and each sub-woofer.Additionally, I purchased the ‘Dragon Speaker Stands' for mounting Surround Speakers as I have no suitable ready to go location for each of the two Surround Speakers.PHYSICAL SET UP –Set up overall including the Dragon Speaker Stands, overall took 45-minutes.PROS: Everything was relatively rewarding as placement of every piece was finalized.------DRAGON SOUND BAR *Set-Up Tip –Wearing gloves, I placed two TV tray stands in from of TV credenza as they were close to the same height. I placed the sound bar on the two TV tray stands, under each end of the DRAGON Sound Bar.I could then easily reach underneath the DRAGON Sound Bar with easy access to plug-in the AC power adapter and all HDMI plug hookups. This is better than rotating the 35 lb. DRAGON Sound Bar for better visibility, just to plug in each plug. The sound bar Is relatively heavy to continuously rotate per HDMI Plug.After a sound check and everything worked, I very easily moved the DRAGON Sound Bar back onto the TV credenza to its location, below in front of the TV. All cables very easily slid through below the TV, to the rear of the credenza for cable management clean-up.NAKAMICHI DRAGON USER MANUAL –Read through ‘NAKAMICHI DRAGON USER MANUAL' step-by-step to preset all my preferred video / audio and speaker settings. Time about 15 minutes. I will tweak these settings a bit more as I get more settled and adjusted to the dynamics of sound throughout my living room.FINAL IMPRESSIONS –I am totally Stunned and Overwhelmingly Satisfied with DOLBY DTS coming from NAKAMICH DRAGON 11.4.6!!! I have zero regrets with the overall setup which was gratifying in itself. The audio sounds are Explosive and Immersive and All-Around My Living Room! My Family & Friends are dropped jawed at what this NAKAMICHI DRAGON 11.4.6 Delivers from the subtle whispers sounds, clear dynamic voices up to Heart Pounding Explosions and all the effects traveling throughout my living room where there are no speakers such as the ceiling and areas between the surround speakers! DOLBY DTS Surround Sound is simply Awesome when played from content provided in that format. Everyday regular TV programming is still immersive in ‘all speaker stereo mode'. I enjoy the subtle audio sounds as to where normally you would not pick up on to hear those sounds.I Am Very Pleased & Extremely Happy with NAKAMICHI DRAGON 11.4.6!!!NAKAMICHI SUPPORT –I experienced an extremely rare malfunction with my AC Adapter. I was in contact with NAKAMICHI via email and telephone. Help was never a long wait! The AC Adapter was remedied with a new AC Adapter within 3 shipping days. Overall, I was very Satisfied with the ever cordial, NAKAMICHI DRAGON Concierge and Their Very Professional Special Ops Ninja Team to resolve my AC Adapter issue.Everything Works Perfectly!Set up very clean! Minimal Wiring!Sounds Beautifully Amazing!No More Going to The Theaters! LoL

King of sounds systems
DRAGON 11.4.6
I am currently watching everything with 20-30% volume. The sound coming from the dragon is so beautiful to hear. You can feel even the sound of tear drop. It is so crisp, no noise nonsense, can scale to any size room. This would be best experienced with larger room or living room. This will allow the sound to reflect and bounce nicely. Currently it is over **** for my home, but this is life time investment. Enjoying this every second. Hopefully they keep releasing the firmware updates to make this last for next 10-15 years.

Honest Review
DRAGON 11.4.6
Let's be honest anyone reading this, is asking themselves is it worth the price? Simple answer is…I don't know. What I mean is that I have had other sounds bars Bose, Sony, Vizio and others but this one is the best and by far no really by far. But I made concessions. What I mean is I was going bigger better picture tv or shot throw laser tv but my wife said sound makes the experience better than a better picture. I thought other wise so of course we did what my wife said big sound big picture but quality could have been better. So after about a month of use here is the honest opinion. Is it great, yes! Is it what everyone says…if they say it's good or great then…yes! You hook it up and even if you don't dial it in right away it will still be better than anything thing. How do I gauge this…for me it's simple…I always having to lower the dragan cause it's sound is great clear exact as where I normally with other bars was raising the volume to hear voices not just sounds.So question is it is it still worth the money…if you want the Ferrari of sound bars yes. But yes there are faster cars but but now we are not just talking about speed but speed along side of refinement. So if this is one of your options you won't be disappointed. But if it's not in the budget…I haven't ever driven a Ferrari either and yet there has been cars to put hugh smiles on my face.Take it with a grain of salt

The Ultimate Sound Bar System
DRAGON 11.4.6
Came from a 5.1 system which never quite satisfied. The Dragon was easy to install out of the box and delivered truly impressive sound from the get go. Had to request support when I couldn't get ATMOS sound out of my Netflix app on Xfinity. Sean from support was able to walk me through other options and we determined the Xfinity app was at fault. I have to say the support level is way higher than any other tech product I've ever purchased. These guys do want you to get the most out of your purchase. Very happy with the support I received.

Best sound for the buck!
DRAGON 11.4.6
What impressed me was the clarity of this AMTs it really makes a difference and how loud this system gets with zero distortion! The atmos is good but a true AVR setup can still out perform it easily, relying on bounce and refection for sounds can vary from user to user, even with calibration. Direct firing speakers from above is no match. The subs do deliver and check the box for low level dBs and can shake a room, but they are still 8in woofers and if you've ever felt a 13in woofer hit you may be disappointed. At the end of the day cost is what matters and at this point in time the $3500 price tag beats out a fairly comparable AVR system. Great value for the money 100%!

Outstanding Audio, Rivals Theatre Quality Sound
DRAGON 11.4.6
It's a little pricey but that's the price you pay for the sound quality of the Dragon system. My TV and Dragon are in a medium sized room and the sound I am immersed with puts me in the middle of the action when I am what an action movie or in the front row seat of a concert when watching a concert. When comparing to my original TV speakers, the speaking dialog is clear and projected from the center of the Dragon while the surrounding special effects/background audio is enveloped around me. Although I only have a 65" TV, I feel like I am at a movie theater only better as I am saving about $25 or more in a movie ticket, pop corn and a drink. My only minor complaint is that it sometimes takes up to a minute for the sound to start playing out of the speakers in the "TV" setting when first turning on the TV/Dragon. Perhaps an update will be released to correct.

Fantastic Home Theater System
DRAGON 11.4.6
I'm a long time Bose fan (I know, I know) and am moving from a Lifestyle 650 system to the Dragon. My initial listening experience was really cool, but after a few movies and music it just didn't sound right to me. I was using the default settings. Then I spent some time calibrating both the room size and volume settings, and wow, what a difference. Once you get it right, the spatial performance and immersion are outstanding. This thing gets REALLY loud and is incredibly powerful - like house-shaking powerful. The ribbon tweeters offer a ridiculous amount of detail - almost too much (in music you hear background noise, bleed-over, and digital artifacts that are hidden by typical speakers). This is greta for classical music. I have now rewatched over 50 movies just to experience them on the system. Sicario and No One Will Save You made me literally jump out of my seat. Highly recommended

I would put this system up against any other, and expect it to beat it. The hardest thing about it for me was figuring out where to place the surround speakers. But I would have the same issue with any other system.I thought I was in a movie theater when I accidentally hit the demo button. My wife was so freaked out by it that she had to leave the room. Being in a rainstorm with no visuals was a little unsettling for her, it was that realistic.Highly recommended!!!

Cinema quality sound

Hands down, this is the best sounding home theatre system I have heard. The equalizer presets for movie, music, game, etc are excellent, but if you want to customize, each sound area can be individually adjusted, including height. Bass is floor shaking if desired, and 3000W fills any room. Wireless surrounds make placement easy and uncluttered, and deliver clear rich sound with no connection issues so far (using for two months now). Yes, it's expensive, but I have no regrets.

Exceptional Product!
DRAGON 11.4.6
First, I was very impressed with the packaging. It was obvious that Nakamichi wanted it to arrive in good shape and it did - my kudos to the engineers that boxed this up! I have never received a product so well protected, and this made a very favorable first impression. The setup was easy, it really is plug and play. The sound is not only exceptional but can be easily dialed into whatever listening environment you want. And all from the carefully designed remote. The main reason I upgraded was the difficulty we were having hearing movie dialogue on my JBL 9.1 sound bar. I was told I would have to get a dedicated component system for $8,000 to $12,000 and run wires through my house to get center channel clarity. Not so! For half that I have great clarity, excellent bluetooth surround speakers, and no longer need subtitles. Thank you Nakamichi for making such a great product - you don't see this quality very much anymore.

The best Soundbar money can buy
DRAGON 11.4.6
I used to be into sound systems and AV receivers and setting up speakers around the room to get great sound but as I've gotten older and life has become busier I don't have the time to spend hours tweaking the speakers and running the speaker wires and then hiding the speaker wires.I did have time to do the research and I found that the Dragon could do everything that I wanted my sound system to do but with a setup time of less than an hour. It has not disappointed. All of my employees and family members are just blown away with the sound quality of this soundbar and best of all all I had to do was set it up in a short span of time and it just worked out of the box.The only problem now is that because it sounds so great I have to fight to be able to watch shows in my living room now. LOL. Everybody wants to watch their shows in the living room instead of in their rooms now.Hard to believe that that little sound bar could fill up this big of a living room but it does without a problem.

Great Experience & Amazing Sound!
DRAGON 11.4.6
My wife and I live in a CBS house and without getting into details the cost of wiring was out of the question. Furthermore I wanted great sound and my wife wanted no wires. After extensive research the Dragon came to our rescue.Unboxing this thing and you know you have a well made product. It's wrapped with custom cut styrofoam like you would see in a high end rifle case. They would have to drop it out of an airplane to damage it.After unboxing I upgraded firmware and did have a Left sub either die or fail on or around the firmware upgrade. They rushed me out a replacement and all has been working perfectly now for a month. Amazon Alexa controlled, with a Sony A95 77inch and a PS5 working seamlessly with eARC. So with that said customer service I would say is above average as well.I am an audiophile and this sounds truly better than anything I've heard. I'm sure it could be outdone with built ins, for a lot more expense, but it literally has me spinning around during movies, surprised with such real sound coming from all directions. Truly great sound. I am happy with my purchase and the companies support and would recommend to others.

WOW!!
DRAGON 11.4.6
Arrived as promised.This shouldn't be called a sound bar, this is an avr that is the shape of a sound bar.First setup.Easy to install as long as you have two people.(this thing is heavy).Get the optional mounting hardware with this. If you're planning to mount the sound bar on the wall you will definitely need these.This thing is basically plug and play, so once you place it in the spot you want then just turn it on and enjoy.POWERFUL..This thing can get loud. Volume control goes to 100, I can listen to it above 15 at the most.I usually have it set to 11 or 12.SOUNDS.Fantastic, everything is clear and sound is heard from all over the room.I have this setup in a dedicated media room with a 120 inch ust projector. It's a blast to watch a movie with this .EXPENSIVE.Yes it is, and worth every penny.You basically have a dedicated AVR with the hassle of running speaker wires and the hours of setup.For a decent AVR setup with speakers it's will come in at the same price without the hassle.CUSTOMER SERVICE.They are on point, I have called for them to ask a question and they are very responsive and even sent me out a flash drive with updated software to load on it.NO WIFI.This is the only issue I have with this unit.You have to load a thumb drive with updates and then plug it in. Which generally is not that big of deal unless the soundbar is mounted on the wall. It sits pretty flush and will have to be removed to plug in the thump drive. Since it's very heavy, 2 people should be used to do this.In short I have no problem recommending this product to my friends or anyone else who is interested in a top of the line sound system.

The audio experience you wish you could find in a movie theater!
DRAGON 11.4.6
To date this is the best sound system (in my limited experience) I have ever listed to. Prior to my purchase I owned a 7.1 (2018) Nakamichi sound system and it was incredible for what it was, I paid somewhere around 700$ for it. However this system is in a league of its own. The 11.4.6 spatial audio is absolutely amazing; the onboard sound demo is jaw dropping, one minute you hear a bird clearly flying around your room and the next a 747 is flying directly over your house. The system advertises it can produce sound up to 125dB and I believe it! For perspective a concert is typically 120- 130dBs. The loudest I ever turned it up to was 60 (I'm assuming it's on a 1-100 scale) and that was more than enough for me. Going to the movies after having this set up will forevermore be a subpar sound experience compared to what I have at home. The system is expensive but as of posting this review (5/15/24) you are buying the cutting edge of consumer sound, if you want the best in my opinion, this is it.

The sound clarity is amazing. It can be loud, it can be quiet. The sub's boom!. The rears add excellent details. The app is useful, and the UI is solid as well. The remote is fine, but i use a universal. The packaging was top notch, even with all the abuse it took from UPS everything came perfect.Only draw backs, are cost, size, and wish it had another HDMI port or 2. (Came with 3)cost is obvious.size - it is bigger than any other sound bar. So if you're tight on space it might not be a good fit.more HDMI ports - is just for all my gaming consoles - and personal need.5 stars would recommend to anyone who is in this price point and space footprint.

The Dragon is real!
DRAGON 11.4.6
This is my second sound bar from Nakamichi and the Dragon did not disappoint! I'm very impressed with the sound quality and overall build of this system. To be able to connect via Bluetooth and the performance of the 4 subs are crisp and not overbearing, exactly what I was looking for. I also loved the fact that the satellite surrounds are wireless, for neater cable management, just have to plug them into the wall. This 11.4.6 was a must have for me and now my family and really enjoy are Dolby surround sound movies on the big screen, with popcorn in comforts of our home!

Absolutely the best.
DRAGON 11.4.6
It has pure fun learning how to properly use my Nakamichi Dragon. The quality and technology is a true joy to use every time I turn it on. The technical support team is beyond reproach. Best of the best. They accept the fact that we purchased an expensive piece of technology that is worth every penny so far. It truly excels in every way you use the Dragon. Absolutely no regrets and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys home entertainment.

You must listen to this Dragon...
DRAGON 11.4.6
At first I was skeptical about a soundbar, I read a lot about it online and made me very curious. The problem was that it was only sold in US. At some point I read in a comment that B&H is going to sell the Nackamici Dragon soundbar and they are shipping internationally. I ordered the Dragon online and within a few days it was delivered to my home in the Netherlands. Nicely taken care of by B&H photo. The soundbar you have to hear first to believe it and even playing music on it through my apple tv sounds very good. I am very satisfied with it.... What I found unfortunate was that B&H Photo did not sell the surround speaker stands at that moment. I ordered those from another website...

Exceptional quality of experience and ease of use
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have used the Dragon for movies, TV and XBox gaming. For TV I've found it decent, but typically streaming is very dependent on the source of the material. For movies, even from streaming media from Apple TV to Disney+ and Netflix, the quality and presence is phenomenal. I am loving this thing. For XBox gaming, I find I have to tune the bass down a little bit, but fortunately there are favorites settings so I can save my gaming configuration. The positional accuracy is excellent. Overall,It is money well spent.

Sounds like no other Soundbar
DRAGON 11.4.6
I wish I had the time to give Dragon (as I call It) the review it deserves. I have become less technical over the years, but for us the Dragon was the answer we were looking for. My only complaint is the footprint of the unit and components is larger than I would have liked. I learned very quickly that the concern was in my head as this unit represents the likes of more expensive components where the speakers would have cost more than the Dragon. Yes, I mention cost because the initial deterrent would be the price. Don't be fooled, it is worth it. The unit will become one of your favorite topics of conversation about how it handles certain scenes in movies. I will be honest, there is still a lot of things the Dragon sound can do that I have not taken the time to investigate. On regular network TV, even the commercials sound so good you actually listen to them. Too bad more shows don't realize how important sound it to its success. I did not have an opinion until the Dragon showed what is missing as well as capturing what is available for sound.

A Beastly Dragon Indeed
DRAGON 11.4.6
I like my music and movies loud and clear. My fiance doesn't like it too loud. The Dragon adapts to both of our tastes without diminishing sound quality. When the guys visit, the Dragon is free to roam. And, it is capable of much more than my smallish house can handle. If I wanted to, I could crank it up and entertain the neighbors—and without distortion. It's incredibly loud and clear. The ATMOS surround sound is excellent. I tried Sonos's best and newest subs, soundbar and surrounds, the Nakamishi Dragon has the edge. The only thing I lacking is an equalizer on the Dragon application. Highly recommended.

Great sound for my space
DRAGON 11.4.6
I don't have a big space and getting the best sound it used to take a lot of space and cables. There are a lot of bulky home theatres systems out there and it takes a rocket scientist to make it work but that is not the case with the DRAGON.Perfect sound from a sound bar it is just incredible. I know the price is a little up there but the benefits and the experience you get it is worth it.Couple of days ago I was testing the system with a couple of heavy bass audio and it literally shook the house. This is incredible.

Exceptional Audio Experience: Nakamichi Dragon Sound Bar Delivers Beyond Expectations!
DRAGON 11.4.6
As an avid audio enthusiast, I am continually on the lookout for products that deliver both exceptional sound quality and immersive experiences. The Nakamichi Dragon Sound Bar has exceeded all my expectations and then some.Let's talk about sound quality. From the moment I turned on the Dragon Sound Bar, I was blown away by its clarity, depth, and richness. Whether I'm watching movies, gaming, or simply streaming my favorite tunes, every sound is crisp and perfectly balanced. The bar's Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support create a three-dimensional audio environment that transports me right into the heart of the action. It's like having a personal cinema right in my living room!Installation was a breeze, thanks to the straightforward setup process and included mounting hardware. Despite its sleek design, the Dragon Sound Bar packs a punch with its powerful speakers and subwoofers. The wireless subwoofer delivers deep, thunderous bass that adds a whole new dimension to my audio experience without cluttering up my space.Another standout feature of the Nakamichi Dragon Sound Bar is its versatility. With multiple connectivity options including HDMI ARC, Bluetooth, and optical inputs, it seamlessly integrates with all my devices, from my TV to my smartphone. Plus, the built-in Chromecast and Bluetooth connectivity make streaming music from my favorite apps a breeze.But perhaps what impresses me most about the Nakamichi Dragon Sound Bar is its attention to detail. Every aspect of this sound bar, from its premium construction to its intuitive remote control, reflects Nakamichi's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. It's clear that they've poured their expertise into creating a product that not only sounds phenomenal but also looks and feels like a premium addition to any home entertainment setup.In conclusion, if you're in the market for a sound bar that delivers unparalleled audio performance, versatility, and style, look no further than the Nakamichi Dragon Sound Bar.

DRAGON 11.4.6
What I liked was how easy it was to setup roughly 25 minutes it's expensive for a box system but when you look at other box systems it's not to far off in price especially by the time you add sub and surround speakers with that said I was shocked when I played the demo there are 2 demo's 1st is the objects moving around the room 2nd was a 747 taking off that's when the dogs had enough lol now I'm coming from the nakamichi 9.2.4 earc model which I moved to my dedicated gaming room but the dragon is on another level I was trying out different movie clips from starwars to godzilla and I heard things in the background I never heard before in movies I have watched many times I'm truly amazed at this system now I know it's not going to beat out full on av systems but the dragon blurs the line especially if it's in the same price range

I ditched my receiver system for the Dragon and can't be happier. Didn't think my old system was bad but it doesn't come close to the Dragon. Dolby Atmos movies that I had previously watched prior to the Dragon are 10 times better sounding and it's hard to believe this all in one box Dragon sounds the way it does. Great job Nakamichi!

NOTHING GREATER THAN DRAGON!
DRAGON 11.4.6
When I originally set out to plan my new home theater, all the big box stores seemed to push me in the direction of a Sonos set up, but I always research things into the ground before a purchase is made. After months of research on my own, I decided that Sonos was great for everyday people who want a great experience. I also realized that THE DRAGON was more for someone who really and truly wanted the most realistic immersive home theater (ATMOS) experience possible. Enthusiast vs. Lifestyle. Schwarzenegger vs. Van Damme. Ferrari vs. Camaro. Custom built vs. Store bought. See what I'm saying? The Dragon features intensely deep bass, same way you experience in a theater, NOT your cousins decked out Yukon XL w subwoofers blaring. The sound is beyond crystal clear. Volume is beyond loud...like cover your ears LOUD! BUT NEVER ANY distortion. Set up is a breeze. Customization (if necessary) of settings is simple. The remote is nice and easy. The product itself is built to last and looks amazing. Nothing about this is cheap or anything less than the absolute best. Thank you for making this product.

UPDATE: Check your items carefully; had almost-hidden damage
DRAGON 11.4.6
UPDATE, April 2024 - Nakamichi's Concierge is truly the best name for this phenomenally responsive customer service. Their Ninjas do a wonderful job solving all issues -- in fact, I feel badly it's taken me a week to get online here and amend this 4-star rating to a 5-star, because hardly a day after I sent the attached photos, they had quick-shipped me a replacement subwoofer!! It arrived with a prepaid return label so I could drop the damaged one back into the shipping container, and leave it at the local return shipping store. Again, superbly packed, and almost laughably, again the box was beaten and torn by the delivery service, but THIS time, my replacement sub arrived in perfect condition. As soon as we figured out how to Bluetooth pair it (really simple, actually), we discovered a new depth and even MORE power to this already amazing system! Cannot believe how much better this sounds to me than the top-end Sonos system we thoroughly tested down the street at our local Best-Buy. Sonos soundbar, surrounds and subs are nice, but simply CANNOT compare with the potency and immersion that true audiophiles like myself enjoy with the Dragon! Hands down, the best equipment I've added to my home since my Nakamichi RX-505 tapedeck, which I still enjoy to this day! Only now, we have the added benefit of the Concierge service, which is not just "suitably or aptly" named, but a rather provides a level of service that sets a new standard for what should be a return to most hotel's once-great "concierge" services! Could not recommend more highly.First, it does have AMAZING sound -- puts Sonos top-end units to shame ... and that's with only 1-working subwoofer. As we just hooked ours up and have only enjoyed it a little, coupled with a 132" screen, it's TRULY like being in the theater! I don't have a lot to add/say beyond that yet, (VERY easy to set up), because of our limited time with it, BUT ... I will say that despite it being extremely well-packed, the box and padding didn't protect everything. I'm thinking someone must have dropped it on the bottom at some point, as the bottom gets all the weight, and doesn't have padding as thick as the top and sides, and that's where our "Right" subwoofer was located. We didn't even see any damage until we pulled it out and I went to connect its powercord, and the little dent caught the corner of my eye (see photos). At first, I thought ... oh well, just a blemish ... but instead of wonderful rumbling, it rattles, so I'm working with Nakamichi's Concierge service to get a replacement/exchange it. Will re-post/update when that's resolved, and hopefully I'll have more to share - and change the star-rating to a 5-star. (Even with only one working sub module (still a twin-sub, of course) in a 20x14 foot dedicated theater room, it STILL sounds amazing, so the "sound" rating still gets 5-stars!) ... -- Dr. P

Clear Winner
DRAGON 11.4.6
Undoubtedly the best "sound bar" system on the market today. I say "sound bar" lightly as this performs significantly better than any other I've heard and it operates closer to a component system. I'm kind of a low-key audiophile as I've had high end Focal systems in my car before, but never any home theater setup. A few weeks ago I had recently purchased Sonos Arc, 2x - Sub, and Era 300's, but was never happy with the audio for the price, especially not being able to adjust simple things like center channel audio. For not much more, I got this setup and it's honestly amazing with all the reviews online being truthful to its performance. People are not exaggerating at all.The Dragon allows you to fine tune the system almost as if you had a DSP (just no frequency crossovers besides sub), and this allows you to really get this sounding exactly how you want. Ironically enough, I think the settings right out of the box sound the best and I've only adjusted sub settings to not shake down my house, but this system even sounds good with bass heavy music and that's an added bonus.If you want a plug and play system that will sound amazing without any more work or additional parts (setup took about 10 minutes after removing everything from packaging), then this is the system for you. Obviously price may be of concern, but if this is within budget then rest assured this is the right choice. Very happy with my purchase and HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested.

DRAGON 11.4.6
The Nakamichi Dragon doesn't get featured in many soundbar showdowns because at its quality, performance and price it has no peers. It's more expensive, but it still offers great value.I acquired Nakamichi mounts for the soundbar and the surround speakers. The soundbar mount has versatile mount points, and once mounted there's still some lateral flexibility to center the soundbar. The mount is discrete and feels solid with the heavy soundbar in place. I mention all of this here because it's also the best wall mounting solution for a soundbar I've seen. Make sure that the HDMI cables you get (for any soundbar) support 48Gbps and have smaller terminators because they need to start bending close to the HDMI ports on the soundbar.The mounts for the surround speakers feel solid and are discrete, but the surround speakers are heavy enough that I recommend hitting a stud. I mounted them on the side walls. The mounts are very easy to use and provide routing for the power cable. The vertical speakers in the surround speakers are angled to reflect off of the ceiling and rotate so they can be aimed at the primary seating area, providing flexibility in where they can be mounted.The room I set this up in has an 8 foot ceiling, the speakers are mounted at seated ear height, and this is the only environment I can speak to.Connecting the surround speakers and subwoofers required pressing one button, and there have been zero connectivity issues. Audio sync has been flawless. (The TV must be plugged in the HDMI port one and whatever port the TV uses for its HDMI ARC/eARC port.)The system doesn't have an automatic calibration feature, but the on-screen menu is easy to use. Just pick the matching physical configuration of the speakers and enter the distance from each speaker to the primary seating area. Sitting off center still provides amazing sound effects' localisation. Some of the setups I've experienced can't maintain this, but the Dragon's speakers and processing shine here. I had to move the subwoofers a few extra inches away from the wall to eliminate some boominess. It eliminated the reflected sounds bad timing and sharpened the bass.There's enough power to drive all of the speakers and maintain clarity throughout the entire frequency range at all volumes, so you don't have to turn it up if you don't want to. But you'll want to.I adjusted the subwoofers' crossover frequency for my preference, but I liked the default levels and settings of all of the other speakers after calibrating for distance.I switch between the Music and Movie modes based on what the source material. I use an Oppo UDP 205 Blu-ray player, Apple TV 4k, PS5 and Nvidia Shield Pro (through the Oppo HDMI IN) as sources.DTS X Pro through the Dragon is amazing, and is currently much, much more expensive to get any other way. Dolby Atmos positioning is so smooth and clear that my dog spins while looking up and around in time with birds circling.Music in surround sound, including Dolby Atmos depends on the quality of the remixing. Sometimes it's more natural sounding or broadens the sound stage wonderfully. Sometimes the positioning of instruments and sounds feel like the artist's intention. Some mixes are distracting in ways that I don't prefer, but this should get better as the industry gains experience with it. When it's done right you feel right there. (The Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense, Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour.) Metallica's Black album is better in stereo in my opinion.Upmixing of movies and music is done really well by the Dragon. It can play and handle anything, and everyone you know will hit their limit before it even gets close to its own.My unit came with the latest firmware, so I never experienced the lower bass mentioned in some reviews.I love it. I love how easy it is was to setup and calibrate. I love how well it handles the variety of sources I throw at it. Most of all I love how it sounds.There's one thing that I wish it did better, which is transition from source to source with less delay before the audio starts. It's definitely not a deal breaker for me. I don't channel surf or constantly switch sources, but I notice the delay when I do.I tried to find comparable setups using separates or soundbars, and they simply don't exist. If this is reasonable for your budget then you can buy it knowing that you can't find anything that can compete with all that it can do so well for anything close to its price.

DRAGON 11.4.6
The whole house was shaking. But first and foremost if you buy this it's a little work to set up. It comes on firmware 2.0 which made the subwoofers a little underwhelming. Updating to firmware 2.6 fixed this. Subwoofers worked like…a dragon. Know it's not something you can just update via internet by the click of a button. You have to get a USB, copy the update file than attach it to the soundbar . Other than this…the system is 100% amazing!

Great product. Would not connect with my Samsung 83”TV. This caused a considerable amount of tine in the setup and phone calls to Nakamichi. Never could resolve linking the soundbar to the Samsung TV. The nagamichi tech was very helpful and easy to understand. Ultimately i spent another $2,500 on another TV. This obviously is not a solution to the problem most people are willing to consider. This is a major disadvantage to this soundbar. The soundbar is great but if you can't connect to a tv its useless.

DRAGON 11.4.6
The international shipping was impressively swift, arriving in less than a week. And let me confirm that this DRAGON is staggering, I'm excited to share my comprehensive review: Package: 5 Stars - Despite the external box showing a few scratches and tears, the internal packaging was meticulously intact, safeguarding the system in perfect condition. The extra protective measures employed were notably well-considered and effective. Materials: 4.5 Stars - The main unit boasts a robust build, primarily composed of metal, adding to its substantial feel. The only minor drawback is the generic quality of the power cords across the system. The rubber feet in the Main unit and the subwoofers (SWs) are very nice and elevate the system properly. The rear speakers, while not feeling as premium due to their external materials, are solid, weighty, and deliver excellent sound quality. Ease of use: 5 Stars - The initial setup and operation exceeded my expectations. The system was remarkably user-friendly, free from any connectivity or pairing issues. Furthermore. It will reward a more dedicated user willing to delve into the settings with a much refined and richer sound. Sound: 5 Stars - The Air Motion Tweeters are exceptional, delivering crystal-clear vocals that feel as if someone is conversing in the same room. The detail in the rear channels is particularly impressive. Initially, I was slightly underwhelmed by the subwoofers (I had them placed in the front, facing forward next to the Entertainment console), but after repositioning them based on tips from the Nakamichi ninjas and employing the ‘Subwoofer crawling' technique, the sound transformed. The bass now envelops the room magnificently. Connectivity and compatibility: The HDMI 2.1 ports function seamlessly with my PS5, Apple TV 4K, and SONY UBP-X700 BD player, with no discernible delay or quality degradation. A minor issue arises with the cable management rubbers, which can cause bending in thicker cables. However, the comprehensive guides on their website for optimizing audio and video settings are a commendable and user-friendly touch that more brands should consider. In summary, the DRAGON system is a remarkable addition to any home entertainment setup, striking a fine balance between sophisticated design, user-friendliness, and exceptional sound quality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently upgraded my home theater setup to the Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of incredible. Previously, I had the Sonos Arc Soundbar+ 2 Subs+2 Sonos Era 300s, but the difference after installing the Nakamichi system is like night and day. First off, let's talk about the setup. It was a breeze to install, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Within no time, I had everything up and running, and I was ready to immerse myself in the world of high-quality audio. And immerse myself I did. Paired with my 150-inch screen and Formovie UST projector, the Nakamichi DRAGON system delivers an audio experience that rivals even the best theaters out there. The sound quality is simply stunning. From the deepest bass to the crispest highs, every note is reproduced with precision and clarity. It's like hearing my favorite movies and music for the first time all over again. But it's not just about the sound quality – the surround sound capabilities of this system are truly next-level. I feel like I'm right in the middle of the action, whether I'm watching a blockbuster movie or playing my favorite video game. The soundstage is expansive and immersive, pulling me deeper into whatever I'm watching or listening to. I've been showing off my home theater to all my friends and family, and without fail, the first thing they comment on is the incredible sound. It's become the centerpiece of my entertainment setup, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to upgrade. Overall, the Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System has exceeded all my expectations. It's transformed my home theater into a true audiovisual paradise, and I can't imagine ever going back to anything else. If you're serious about sound quality and immersive entertainment experiences, do yourself a favor and invest in this amazing system. You won't regret it.

Exceptional audio system
DRAGON 11.4.6
This is a marvelous piece of engineering in the audio space. When I listen to my LG audio system it sounds good. But when I play the same in dragon I realize I have missed so many other lows and highs. And I have received so man compliments from my neighbors, friends and near&dear; they say it feels like we are watching in a theater…… I love my dragon……

Dragon - Expections Over Exceeded
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have had the Dragon for about a 100 days now. The Device meets the expectations every time I watch the Movie/Play Music. I have been able to listen every details on the movies - which i previously never heard with my Bose Surround System. Highly recommended for someone who is in the market for the new and Updated Sound System. Customer Service has been great - For answering the Questions and resolving any outstanding issues.

My dragon experience
DRAGON 11.4.6
I had experienced a few problems at the beginning and I can tell you that their VIP support is second to none. They will bend over backwards to make sure you are 110% satisfied. As far as the actual dragon is concerned once I got everything dialed in it blows me away that this is a sound bar. In my previous home I had a full surround system in-wall Triad speakers with a very powerful amp and I'm pretty impressed with how well the dragon sounds with movies and music in my new home. And my wife is happy because there's no speakers in the the walls and no wires running across the floor

Worth Every penny!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I appreciate B&H implementation of international shipping and guidance through the shipping and customs process. The process started on 8 Feb when I placed the order. On 16 Feb the Dragon was shipped to the UK. Three days later the Dragon was up and running. The Dragon arrived without any damage in a box weighing 140 pounds. During the process B&H customer service and verification section politely answered any question I had and quickly corrected any problems. The Dragon is indeed remarkable. The quality of sound that emanates from the Dragon is a significant game-changer for me. Watching television presents a unique experience. Sound from movies and music permeates all around you. Once I turned around because I heard a door slam behind me, I was about to shout at my wife. However, upon realizing it was the Dragon, I realized this is the best soundbar I have ever owned. Thank you, B&H, for making my dreams come true.

Top Soundbar for Movies
DRAGON 11.4.6
International shipping at last! DHL shipped the very heavy box and the contents arrived in perfect condition (box had a minor dent tho) Unpacking and set up was uneventful even though it took a lot longer than the 10 mins claimed by some reviewers. This replaced a Denon based AVR system that had 3 front, 2 upfiring, 2 surround and a subwoofer. I used the custom set up which used room dimensions and speaker placements. Sound was very good easily better than my previous system. The surround bubble was cohesive and stable even when you're not sitting in the sweet spot. Speech clarity was excellent. Bass was balanced but bass fiends may want to dial up the bass settings for more punch. Blu Ray player initially had no picture but the quick reply from the Nakamichi help Whatsapp site was to disable the Video Upscaling. While the Nakamichi was great for movies, certain music genres did not fare so well. Vocals and pop music was ok but large orchestral pieces and classicals came off being a little harsh even with tweaking the different pre-settings. I also have a little known high end sound bar from Creative Technology previously nicknamed Sound bar of the Gods. It actually cost pretty much the same as the Dragon. I think music is better but it loses out to the Dragon for the Surround Sound Staging and being quite a few years old, lacks many of the modern features of the Dragon. Nakamichi Dragon. A product worthy of the Dragon mantle.

So far the product is fantastic. I received on subwoofer broken. Depending how quickly they handle the replacement will affect my rating. This is for bedroom set up. I have HT with B&W diamonds and RELS. I will give comparison after Dragon subwoofer rectified. I'm a high end audio guy but so far the Dragon seems VERY promising

The One
DRAGON 11.4.6
It's big and loud. It's bumps my old av system off the wall. I was very skeptical, I mean wondering if I had made the right decision considering the price tag but so far I've had my Dragon since January and it's the end of February so about 2 months. No regrets at all. It's fun to run new movies with the all the sweet sound effects, old movies that always sounded pretty good hit harder and listening to music. I literally have to demo it for everyone who comes over and have never heard of the thing. I looked at everything (everything)and made my decision and I don't regret it. I'm happy, wife is happy and I don't know anyone else who has one so for now I'm on a bit of a pink cloud.

Awesome Dragon Speakers
DRAGON 11.4.6
Ive had many surround sound systems over the years and all have sounded good, but the Dragon is by far the best system Ive owned in 35yrs, its a plug and play setup with plenty of adjustments to dial in the desired experience level to the listener. It has my pup occasionally looking up at the ceiling to see what is there, btw we live in a one story! I feel it was money well spent and will be the last sound system i buy.

The Dragon and the Case of the Mind-blowing Sound
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Dragon is expensive … but it's worth it. The two demos that play as part of the setup were pretty mind-blowing. Those obviously are flexing all capabilities, especially the use of the height speakers, but definitely prepares you for what the speakers can handle/produce. I've had a surround setup for a long time, but I have never become as immersed in movies as I do with this setup. Literally had put in a movie to test out the speakers with the intention of just watching the first 10 minutes or so … and was 30-40 minutes in before realizing I was still sitting there just taking it all in. Music sounds great on it also. I've been mainly using Apple Music for Dolby Atmos/Lossless - and I hear things in songs/albums I've listened to tons of times that I'd never noticed before. I'm still tweaking some of the settings for music though as I don't think I have it even quite where it needs to be to get maximum quality. Overall, I've never heard a home theater setup (especially as a soundbar setup) as good as it. No buyer's remorse at all.

So, the purchase and communication process was great. The Dragon system itself is amazing, I'm really enjoying it. However, I would say where it can be improved. The screws that came in the box are low quality, they look like they're made of plasticine. I broke 3 of them while trying to install side speakers in the wood studs.

Highest quality immersive sound System
DRAGON 11.4.6
It arrived extremely well packed and in good condition. Unpacking was simple. Setup took a little time but was not difficult. The system really thinks for itself but you need to do a little fine tuning to get it just the way you like it. The sound quality is so natural with incredible separation and immersion. Even CD's sounded great on this system. 4k DVDs were the most amazing but even regular broadcast and streaming sound was immersive. It is expensive and is for someone who really wants the best possible sound quality and is willing to pay for it. I am very happy to have been able to get the DRAGON, all the claims were true. I love it!!!

Received the dragon undamaged despite a cross county trip to the east coast. Set up was intuitive and quick. Maximum time was spent on getting the HDMI cables into the HDMI inputs. I am an old hand at audio and music reproduction is important to me. The Nakamichi DRAGON did not disappoint. Sound stage is accurate and the low end well rounded. No problems with video with good upscaling to 4K. I have already sold my AVR and do not miss it. All in all. Happy and satisfied with the purchase

Fantastic for 85in tv and below. Sound is crisp, surround sound and atmos is par with an avr system. Cons is if you are planning to use this with a screen bigger than 85" it might not be as good due to sound bar lenght, it will not blend the sound with your screen.

Amazing
DRAGON 11.4.6
It's fantastic. Taken a couple weeks to properly find the right settings and placement but for a soundbar. You don't need anything better unless you're an insane audiophile. Me, I'm a half deaf metal head that played and went to too many metal shows so why the f#@& would I need a 30 thousand dollar sound system that is comparable. When this is basically plug and play. And volume really only needs to go up to 25 not 100...i can't imagine turning it to 100. I understand that range of volume allows the low volume to be just as clear which is amazing for night mode. If you have 4k... get it. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Sound, minimized wiring, Love the Dragon
DRAGON 11.4.6
Amazing Sound and awesome power. Very heavy carton box when delivered, everything survived undamaged, easy to setup other than accessing the HDMI connections at the back of the Dragon. Dolby Atmos Speaker Stands well made but very difficult to attach speaker mounting plate with supplied screws that are too close to the pedestal pole. The user interface graphics is rudimentary basic and could use a modern update, looks very early 2000's. The display on the Dragon is sufficient but too pixelated. Would be nice to have internet capability for firmware updates and access to Apple Air Play.

Wanted to go from top quality wired system to wireless. Saw Caleb Denison' s review of the Dragon system and was blown away. My “in my room “ experience has matched that and more. The clarity of the midrange (voices especially), bass power and clarity of the subs, and the Dolby Atmos effects are unparalleled. They exceed my previous 9.1.4 system and it was excellent.

Impressive Dragon Soundbar!
DRAGON 11.4.6
Impressive sound! When I first got the soundbar, subs and satellite speakers installed I was at first a little underwhelmed. I then proceeded to measure all positions of speakers with a laser measuring tool then I set the sound levels with a sound meter and they sounded a bit better but I was still not completely taken by the dragon, but then I proceeded to play music all day for a week or so to see if they needed to be broken in a bit. To my surprise this drastically improved the sound especially in the subs blending with the soundstage. The Dragon soundbar has impressive clarity and impact while watching movies, my preference for movies is Dolby Surround, Movie 2, AHD set to Max. For music depending on type and format the Studio setting with Music 1,2,3 really has an impact and strength to it. One of the best aspects of the Dragon soundbar is the app for quick on the fly setting changes that are intuitive and the ease and speed let you demo all the different sound signatures and eq changes instantly and I love that. The onscreen menu to go even further into refinement of sound is excellent. I was looking for a system with power and sound quality that kept a minimalist look clean and clutter free and bonus was how easy the setup was. The speaker stands are a must. I got all the accessories but found myself not using the soundbar wall mount and for my particular setup with 10 foot screen and short throw projector I found a pair of 9x6x3 black foam yoga blocks a better solution that paired perfectly with LG HU85LA laser projector hiding all the wires and being a perfect height to just be above the projector and below the screen. I have waited a few months to really get the feel of this before I submit my review to give my honest opinion and this thing rocks I love it. The quad subwoofers are interesting and depending what kind of music your listening to I found that turning off a different number and combination really brought various music genres to life, but for movies I alway keep all 4 on.

Simultaneously bombastic and subtle
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Dragon is proving to be very interesting. There are some scenes from some movies which it renders in spectacular fashion. But I am slowly coming to realize that its real strength is much more subtle. I often find, after a movie, that I have not noticed that there is a sound system involved in the process. It is completely transparent. That has never been the case with any sound equipment I've ever had. Really interesting.

Enhance your entertainment space with the Dragon
DRAGON 11.4.6
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

Worth every penny
DRAGON 11.4.6
Nakamichi Dragon 1.4.6 is just a masterpiece, every sound that comes out of it is pure pleasure. I use it with my Computer that has a 4090 and it works perfectly with windows 11. Gaming with the Dragon is just mind blowing. I also use the NVIDIA Shield to stream the best audio quality possible. Every member of my family has been impressed with it. Recommended 100%. I hope they keep updating the software to fix small bugs and keep improving.

WOW... I am impressed. Sorry no 'Return to sender'.
DRAGON 11.4.6
"I received my dragon in great condition back in November and have been putting it through its paces, testing different sources. I can now confidently conclude that there will be no 'Return to sender.' I'm keeping this beast. I previously had a Denon 7.1 AVR setup with Definitive Tech speakers and a Klipsch down-firing sub. However, in April 2023, I decided it was time to 'Simplify' things. I began reviewing various soundbars to replace my 10-year-old AVR system. Many caught my interest, but I ultimately settled on the Sony HT-A7000 7.1.2 soundbar with rears and a sub. Although the Sony was good, it didn't meet my expectations. While the 360 spatial sound impressed, the center channel was thin, underwhelming, and lacking. Coincidentally, I stumbled upon a YouTube video featuring the dragon at CES and became curious if this could be the solution. After extensive research on forums, I decided to take the $3800 plunge. Verdict: 1. The dragon is exactly what I was looking for and has officially replaced my AVR system (which is now packed and up for sale). 2. The Sony HT-A7000 7.1.2 was no match for the dragon and has been relocated to the master bedroom. I could continue to rave about the dragon and how much I'm enjoying this fiery beast of a soundbar system. However, I'll simply conclude by saying: take the plunge. Don't listen to naysayers. Get it, try it for yourself, and you'll be pleased."

Sound recap
DRAGON 11.4.6
Cleanest sounding soundbar I have ever listened to! Super easy to use and setup was a breeze. Very impressed with the sound imaging-very convincing that speakers are above me and sides. Sounds a lot cleaner than Martin Logan bar & our Definite technology bar setup. Only areas needing improvement are- more bass for some situations and music. Bass response is clean just feel like they are turned down some even when volume for bass is maxed at lvl 10. Aslo a quicker processer as little sluggish during startup and switching hdmi's.

Everything I had hoped for
DRAGON 11.4.6
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*

Audio and Beyond Sensations
DRAGON 11.4.6
The speaker set up was very easy. The manual was provided useful information on various sound options and seemed straight forward. The sound was everything reported in the media. The high quality streaming broadcasts and modern bluray had wonderful spatialization beyond what I expected. The front, center, rear, and overhead spatialization was really effective when I was streaming Top Gun Maverick. when I was watching Interstellar on bluray, the subwoofers were literally sensational with ****** impact and vibration. For technologic fun, I will probably fine tune the audio with the help of on board demo recordings and store as a favorite. Overall, I am very pleased with my investment. I look forward to seeing the smile on some of my friends who get a chance to listen.

The real thing is here
DRAGON 11.4.6
I live in South Korea and I use DRAGON 11.4.6 for the system with LG TV OLED EVOG3 as Display. This sound bar is connected to Shelid TV and Cable TV, and we are watching Netflix and OTT in South Korea and YouTube music. Currently, the other rooms are LG S95QR and Samsung HW-Q990C. DRAGON 11.4.6 is too different from these two products. The movie fully supports Dolby Atmos for a greater immersion experience, and when you listen to the music with stereo, you will fall in love with the music in a completely different direction than when you watch the movie. After installation, it felt a little noisy at first, but the sound became very quiet through tuning in its own program. Since I live in a non-English speaking area, it is too difficult to express my feelings about listening in English. What is certain, however, is that Nakamichi DRAGON is not just a sound bar, but a great surround multisystem. It is clear that it is a product that can be highly recommended.

Migrated from Klipsch Reference Premier 5.1 AVR system
DRAGON 11.4.6
To be honest initially I was skeptical as how the system will perform against high end Klipsch system which I own. But after a long wait when the system arrived, and with a pretty quick setup and correct placement, all I have to say is JUST AMAZING !!! The clarity, the performance, the subs, are all outstanding. I have started to enjoy my old movie collection again with this system. Nakamichi proved that a soundbar system with subs and surround speaker with no wires going across, easy to setup can produce something so amazing that the high systems are not able to do it. Along with excellent customer service Nakamichi nailed it right. Great Job !!!

An AMAZING experience with the Dragon, I'm still tinkering with the advanced settings and making adjustments. I live in a co-op setting so unable to krank the Dragon up to it's full potential. Even at lower volumes it's an enjoyable experience. I'm able to hear dialogue with amazing clarity,even at lower levels. I LOVE MY NAKAMICHI DRAGON SOUND SYSTEM! "DRAGONOUS!"

The clarity of the sound output is outstanding. Vocals & Instrumentation outputs are balanced despite the thumping and house-shaking subwoofers. At high volumes no speaker misfiring. Due to the massive output power of the speakers, I have never gone beyond the range volume 50%. I and my wife never regretted our purchase of the DRAGON because the sound output quality is stress alleviating. - Jonah

I have struggled for years to find the right sound system for my open floor plan living room. The Sonos arc and era 300 combo wasn't enough and then the Sony ht a9 was great but didn't have enough power to fill the space. Enter the dragon, I have been waiting on a sleek wireless system to fill this giant space that is my living room. For the first time I am experiencing movies the way that they were made to be experienced. Definitely a must buy if you are considering it!

Best sound bar
DRAGON 11.4.6
I do not know if I can call this a soundbar system. It is very easy to setup and use. Also has more adjustments for the audiophiles as well. But the sound from this system is amazing compared to my full blown 5.1 surround system I had previously. Only knock I can say about the system is that the subs need to be corner loaded to get more of the low end sound for the rumbles like in Top Gun etc. Overall the system is well worth the money and easy to setup, and the space saving.

Awesome System
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have owned several home theater systems, including a Bose 650, and nothing comes close to the Dragon. I have owned for just over a month and my friends come over just to experience it. Just after 6:26 in Sicario there is an explosion that scared the living daylights out of everyone watching - it actually felt like a bomb went off in the room, and the volume was on 15. Truly immersive. Music sounds great, but this is designed as a home theater system, so music audiophiles may be a bit disappointed (no soundbar system is going to sound as awesome as dedicated large front soundstage speakers with music, imho). That said, for room-filling music the all-speaker surround is incredible. Nakamichi was brilliant to put the speakers on a different WiFi frequency than standard. WiFi interference was a serious problem with the Bose subs with frequent dropouts. Putting on a different frequency eliminates those issues. The Atmos is incredible with sounds coming from all different points in the room. I am extremely satisfied with this system and am in the process of re-watching all my favorite movies just to experience them with this system.

DRAGON 11.4.6
My dragon arrived in flawless condition! I updated to Firmware Version 2.1 without issue, and set the speakers and subs in place. I haven't set distances yet, because the kid in me was fed up and wanted to blast this thing! For reference, I own the Samsung/harman kardon HW-N950 and the Samsung Q990C. I thought I had two killer systems, the best I had heard until…well now.🤷�‍♂️ They are but a mere dribble of sweat off the Dragons brow. 🐉 I have a hard time putting into words how much better the Dragon is than these two systems. I'm embarrassed to think I recommended them for so long! If anyone is on the fence about buying this system, if you can afford the cost without sacrificing your first born, buy it. It is absolutely incredible! Every song I hear sounds like it's the first time I've heard it…every movie even the ones I've seen a million times is a whole new experience each time! It shakes my house and turns my room into a true theater sound experience!

Best soundbar system available, few bugs that should be fixed
DRAGON 11.4.6
Beautiful. By far the best soundbar + wireless woofers + aux speakers on the market today. This is the only soundbar system I've found that supports 4K/60fps, 8K, Atmos, DTS:X, and VRR passthrough. Over the past two years I've tried the latest Samsungs and Sonys and had to return them all, since none of them played well with the Xbox Series X until the DRAGON. One issue that still needs to be addressed is the audio delay from TV sources (e.g. YouTube) -- multi-second delay before the audio kicks in when starting and resuming (and sometimes in the middle of a video). Hope this will be fixed in a firmware update! Nakamichi living up to the legend.

I've had the system for a couple weeks so far and I am blown away. Impossibly easy to set up. Out of the box sound is incredible, I am hearing dimensions and subtleties for the first time in music I have owned for years! Mostly listening to music so far. It is hard to comprehend how I can stream music wirelessly to a wireless system and experience this level of sound quality. Witchcraft?! The system is fantastically balanced too. I have never heard such clean, clear and crisp highs, the kids and bass seems perfect to me. When playing movies the center channel is amazingly great for dialog - I no longer find the need to turn on subtitles - no muddy sound here! The remote lights up and thanks to an intuitive layout and different feeling buttons it's easy to find your place on it. Truly impressed here. The 4K video upsampling is amongst the best I have experienced. I purchased the matching speaker stands as well … while pricy, they are perfectly matched and provide flawless stabilty while looking fantastic.

Top Gun, When IceMan and Maverick are arguing in the locker room after Maverick Descended below the hard deck to make a ****. IceMan is chewing gum. You can hear the gum snapping as he chews... BladeRunner 2049: Right off the bat shakes the floor of the house with Extremely Deep Base. Then the flying car lands and its like its landing right there in the room with you.

Once i opened the box and got a peek at the main unit my eyes were like saucers, the main unit is large and heavy. The setup was remarkably easy, the speakers connected right away without issue, I set up my television and PS5 according to the recommended settings, sweet. Over the past couple of weeks I have been able to fine tune the settings, once you understand the settings the speakers can be dialed in to your listening pleasure, all in all I am very pleased with the Dragon, the look is clean, no wires other than the power cords which are very easy to conceal, very very satisfied.

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.

DRAGON 11.4.6
This product was worth the wait. I'm comparing to Yamaha sound bars like the ysp series this blows it away! That said the system is NOT small. be prepared for having a large space to put the speakers. Setup was really easy. It took about 20 minutes and is a manual process vs the Yamaha automatic version. Remote is solid made from a metal composite vs plastic. Overal quality of the build on all parts is really good. Metal machine parts are real. Highly recommend overall and happy to have bought one of the 1st 500 and therefore have a collector's item!

Significantly better than my HT-A9; It Shakes My Whole House!!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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

Fantastic System
DRAGON 11.4.6
My setup location is not optimized yet, but I am still thoroughly impressed with how good this system sounds. The volume, even on lower numbers, fills the room and is easily distinguishable (voices and sounds). Music has varied, as some music is recorded better than others, but has been overall good. The set up was very easy since the only wires are basically power and HDMI. Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

Dragon Unleased! IN MY HOUSE!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

Best. Hands down!
DRAGON 11.4.6
This system is amazing! It's a beast. Especially if you're coming from a cheap soundbar setup. I consider my ear pretty keen since I have mixed and mastered audio for the last 20 years. This thing is not lacking in power at ALL! My normal listening volume is 7-11. This system goes to 100 🤯🤯 now I only look for movies with the audio output 5.1 or better. I no longer have to visit a theatre to get the same experience. I would put this in every room with a TV if I could.

Fantastic product; you will love it!
DRAGON 11.4.6
It's hard to express how much I love this product. I am a huge home theater fan and worked in the industry for many years. The power and spatial accuracy of this soundbar is incredible and it's really leagues ahead of anything else on the market in this category. I like to tweak settings and experiment and you can go very deep with customization. I have a couple very minor nits I've sent to the team, but overall the firmware is rock solid (certainly much more so than other consumer electronics devices this early after launch.) If you are thinking about splurging on this soundbar, I absolutely say do it. You will love it!!!

Exceeds expectations!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I already had a high end Atmos amplifier, but realised that my speakers weren't up to the task; updating them would have been impractical and above all expensive. So amid the hype I chose the Dragon. It's not just the enthusiastic support for Atmos, nor the convenience of the overall design that minimises the number of components and Look Ma! no speaker wires, nor the clarity of speech rendering, nor the overall Zen appearance, it's all of these and more more more. If not the Dragon, I would have needed multiple speakers in walls and ceilings to provide the contiguous wall of sound the Dragon offers. I am simply delighted.

This Dragon really fires up the room!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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.

My thoughts as a vision-impaired Dragon owner!
DRAGON 11.4.6
Before learning about the Dragon, I replaced my Bose Soundtouch 300 with the Samsung Q990c. It sounded good but didn't blow me away. I'm legally blind and struggle with small text. I was not fond of the app or the LED scroll display on the bar, so I returned it. I then learned about the Dragon. I got into a great community page on social media, and with all the Sharing of info, I discovered the on-screen settings feature. That sold me on Dragon. I've not heard of any other sound system to offer that. I got lucky on the 8/3/23 pre-order! My receipt came at 12:01 Eastern time. It took about 78 days from ordering to show up at my door; well worth the wait. Respect goes out to the VIP Dragon owners who got the World Premier Editions. They paved the way for Nakamichi to revise some things, such as packaging. My unit got delivered with a nasty gash, but the thicker inside foam saved it. Considering how far it has come, I've gotten packages all messed up within my state; Dragon crossed the Pacific and the US to the East Coast, the conditions impressive. It was easy to set up and had a far better setup/install experience than the Bose or Q990c. The interface of the app and the on-screen display accommodate my vision limitation as far as the LED display on the bar; it is good, too. When the Dranon was powered on and the demo played, it shook my place; the lights were blinking. I put the box in the recycling bin!

This dragon breathes fire!
DRAGON 11.4.6
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!

A very nice sound bar system
DRAGON 11.4.6
I came from a stereo and a 5.1 surround system. I consider myself as an audiophile enthusiast. In the 80's, I used to own a couple of Nakamichi products. So, I know the brand very well. I understand that the company is different today than before. When I saw many rave reviews about the Dragon soundbar, I decided to get one for my LG OLED 77". The setup of the Dragon was very easy, especially with the help from the Facebook Owner's group. The sound from movies were outstanding with clarity, great impact, and engaging. I could hear the conversation very well and I did not need to show the sub-title anymore. The funny thing is that I have been watching a lot of classical music performances since having the Dragon. YouTube Beethoven Symphony No 9 with Ricardo Muti from Chicago sounded just wonderful. It just liked I was in the hall. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice. Great job Nakamichi!

I have had numerous audio systems over the years, but really was never truly satisfied because I need it to be as loud as I want AND crystal clear playback. I can happily announce that the Dragon does both. Just plain music is totally awesome and movies are an unbelievable experience. My opinion for anyone reading this, is to buy it if it fits your budget. I am using mine with a TCL 98" tv and I have my own theater. This system does what it says it does and you won't find similar quality without spending several times as much money.

My loudest volume max is on 25. Pushing it higher the 4-Subs might blow the roof off. This Dragon is complemented by my 77" G3 evo.

Manvel Dragon Blaster
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 was worth the wait. The system was easing to set up and sounds great. The best sound from it was not achieved until I followed the manual's instructions. The manual provided excellent instructions and tips during setting the Dragon up. I was reluctant to connect my Apple TV and Sony 4K player to the Dragon. I was worried about the possibility of losing the image quality and control of my two devices. I am happy to report with eARC, there is no issue. The Dragon and my Sony Mini LED TV are well-matched. I converted my never-used dining room into a theater room, specifically for the Dragon, and used the default configuration setting. The open concept of the room caused the personal configuration to not produce a better sound for me. I have a few sound bars, but none compared to the Dragon, even Sonos. Of course, movies are out of this world with the Dragon. The music is better with the Dragon than other sound bars, and watching football in Game mode is as well. Dragon 11.4.6 is something I strongly recommend.

Amazing sound made simple
DRAGON 11.4.6
If you ever wanted high end sound without having to wire speaks everywhere and buy separate expensive reciever then the Dragon is for you. On most systems you have to turn up extremely loud just to hear some detail. With the Dragon you can hear it a low volume. My wife thought I was getting it for pure power and she was worried. But since I have shown her what a difference in Quality makes. She in love with the details atmosphere effects now.

Easiest Setup Ever For An Intense Home Theater System
DRAGON 11.4.6
I set up the 5 pieces that make up the Nakamichi Dragon, applied power to them, installed the included hdmi cable between the TV and the Dragon Soundbar, installed the batteries in the remote and pressed the home button on the remote, used a laser measuring device to get the accurate distances to input into the built-in software and after connecting a source, Voila...perfect surround sound! All done in much less than a half hour! It previously took me a week to put together a totally wired 16-speaker surround sound system (I didn't accurately record the hours I spent putting it together because I spent some nights and one full weekend).

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.

Long Awaited Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6
DRAGON 11.4.6
I am an adult of 60 years old, i can tell you that my interest in audio stems way back to the 70s as a teen when i convinced my father to purchase for me my first quality system which included a pair of the original AR-11s....from then on i have had a plethora of audio components. Some really good and some great. As systems evolved and video displays (TV's) became the central part of these systems, well the sound bar became common place...for me, a TV was always coupled with a sound bar mainly because the TV speakers were not capable of making the sound from video content sound good at all. Now TV's have built in speakers, subwoofers, etc. but still sound sub par for a good surround sound experience. The one thing I learned over the last 10+ years after owning very good sound bars is that i was deprived of a really good Stereo to play my music. My place to listen to music became my car and if i did listen to music in my home, i played it through a whole house audio system which is more or less equivalent to background music in a supermarket....some how that became the norm. Well, i have great news to share! After I Deployed This Dragon on 9/27/2023, coupled with a new 2023 model TV and upgraded streaming device taking a few hours, it was time to power it up, configure, calibrate, you all know the drill. Now a few days have past, and here is my personal opinion; 1. For movie surround, it does the job of any quality surround sound system. Over time, after playing content of movies that employ really good DSP i will certainly hear all the goodness the system has to offer. 2. Music.....to all the new owners of this product, if you haven't done so yet, download the TIDAL app on your streamer or smart TV (subscription required) and search for your favorite albums which are all remastered....and listen in awe the Magic in the audio reproduction of this Dragon! the Dragon plays music like I never ever heard from a sound bar type system. The engineering that went into this beast with the use of these AMT high frequency drivers allow you to hear details with familiar music i never heard before. The Subwoofers are absolutely the best I have heard with this type of system....The bass is solid, tight, never overwhelming and zero boom, no placement issues or knobs to adjust to eliminate the bad.. I have had family and friends visit to demonstrate this system and all were shocked how this system sounds and never putting the volume at more than 38 or less out of 100. there is no bad side affects to any music played...Its remarkable. Everything sounds amazing, fills the entire room like i have a multi speaker setup. And lastly, configuring this unit was far from difficult, the only thing i had to deal with which took all but 15 minutes was to solve the CEC communication between the devices so i can literally use my streaming remote to power up/down, volume, etc. Now when i turn on my streamer everything turns on and off. Keep it simple. So there you have it, my personal experience with the Nakamichi Dragon, a game changer for me! Worth the money and the wait!

Exactly what I was looking for
DRAGON 11.4.6
I previously used my TV alone (no soundbar or separates), so this is - of course- much better. I've been wanting to find a separates-type sound with a “home theater in a box” format. As a newbie to a home theater sound system of any type, the flexibility of the Dragon's settings, the ease of connection, and excellent remote are exactly what I was hoping for. The physical size yields way better sound than any soundbar system I heard at the store. And yes, I can feel the subs. The engineering that went into the Dragon's design is clearly impressive. As a relatively “simple” user, once I calibrated and set up the sound to best fit my room, using it to watch from my cable box, Netflix or other streaming, or for listening to music requires only a button to get to my favorite settings, then maybe a toggle to all channel stereo or to adjust the volume. Simple enough and outstanding sound. For me, it fit my use case perfectly and is an outstanding value.

The Nakamichi Dragon is the new benchmark on what a professionally crafted complete home audio system should be. Right out of the box there is nothing more you could add to make this system any better. It both looks visually stunning and powerful.

Unbelievable sound comes from the Dragon 11.4.6 sound system. I knew it was going to be good, but I am still surprised at how crisp and powerful this sound system is. The Dragon excceeded my expectations entirely. What was even more amazing was how easy the system setup was. Everything connected immediately and seamlessly. I immediately watched the new Avatar movie and felt completely immersed in the movie. Aside from my TV being 65" I felt like I was in a movie theater. The sound was breathtaking!! I watched Top Gun 2 after and I'm pretty sure my neighbors could here it loud and clear. I would buy the Dragon over again! I highly recommend this system to everyone. This is bar none the best sound system for the money I have ever seen. Thank you Nakamichi!!!

The DRAGON is alive!!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I am replacing a Sony HT A5000 450 watt soundbar with a small 250 watt sub and small rear speakers about 50 watt each with a Nakamichi DRAGON 🐉!!! I should not have to say anymore but I will. This dragon rocks the house. I have a medium sized room. We sit about 11 feet away from the soundbar and the rears are about 4 feet behind us or so on the left and right side, the subs are located left and right side of the tv stand where the bar is. The sound bar is large in size it looks awesome below my 83” sony tv. I turned it up to volume 60 on movies and music and it does not distort one bit. Volume 60 is really loud but still clear in dialogue. Watching movies at 25 and or 30 you still get the full affect of the whole movie. It sounds like the person is right in front you talking into your face. It's just amazing. Really good job 👍. It was worth the wait. This is an awesome purchase a lot of money but it was worth it the wait.

True AVR alternative. Unbelivable sound
DRAGON 11.4.6
It has that full potential, power, customization matching AVR level and buy it if you want true AVR alternative and hassle free quick setup in your living room. On the clarity and voice tone aspect it is beautiful and smooth due to AMT tweeter, doesn't tire you out after long listening, can get brutally loud (in a good way) without distortion. Speaker to subwoofer match is perfect and not very overpowering/booming. At last about height speaker they are great and can feel the effect with right ceiling height. Cons: For me I do not have it other than the size and weight of the system but you cant get this kind of performance if you go any less on those aspect. I now feel like I need to update my TV to truly justify this system.

Unleashing The Dragon, A unparalleled experience that blurs AVR receivers and Soundbars
DRAGON 11.4.6
First things first, the settings have to be correct ( and there are plenty) to truly get the most out of your Dragon. I have an older Denon2311 setup that is in my media room with Pinnacle speakers and dual baby boomer subs on a splitter; it's an older traditional 7.1 receiver that I never upgraded, had a Denon 2307 before that. Had a Nakamichi 9.2.4 Sse in the bedroom and 9.2.4 eARC after that ( same room as the Dragon) as reference points. My room : Master Bedroom 16*28 with 10 foot ceilings. Dragon bar slightly below ear level 11 feet in front Dragon surrounds 5 feet to the left and right of bed exactly parallel to listening position Dragon subs corner loaded left and right (at a 45 degree angle exactly 4 inches from the left and right walls) of bed approx 10 feet to left and right of bed port facing listening area. Listening Experience so far Set Up: Extremely easy and intuitive out of the box, approximately 25 minutes to remove everything and get it plugged in ready to play. The subwoofers were the only things that I had to move around with trial and error until I got deep and powerful bass without boominess, that took a couple of days to get the exact sweet spot. I cannot stress enough that subwoofer placement is key to getting great bass out of the system, so sometimes an inch movement in any direction can make a major impact on your Main Listening Position bass performance. Settings: I immediately went into my custom profile and entered and saved all my exact distances. I then adjusted all levels of all speakers to 5 for a middle setting ( values 1-10 so 5 is mid point). * Note* There are 3 different ways to control bass ( the bass adjustment on the remote, the bass level setting buried in the On Screen Display that you actually have to scroll down to adjust and lastly the amount of subwoofers that are actually activated 2 are on by default). Because there are 3 ways to make the bass more pronounced, I believe this is where people could miss one of the settings and end up with poor bass as one of them default is set to level 1, and in my opinion should be set to level 5. I left AHD at Max as I enjoyed the expansive sound bubble that filled the room. The information following was all with default movie2 and music1 as things change slightly with other movie and music presets, maybe I will compare on subsequent posts after more time with the system as there is entirely too much to cover in one post. Sound Profile: Effortless all encompassing immersive and articulate soundstage that sounds very balanced at all frequencies. Meaning bass, mids and highs all blend perfectly together to form an extremely natural sound profile. Of special note are the AMT tweeters, they create an extremely dispersed and nuanced high end that allows sounds to be placed with pinpoint accuracy. The mids are rich and detailed from all the 3 inch drivers and 3.5 inch surround speakers as well. Bass Response: The subwoofers in my room dig down to 22 hz with bass I can actually hear and feel. I used a free tone generator app off the Apple Store that you can increase in 1 hz increments to hear frequency response . The subs integrate perfectly with the system and give satisfying bass that certainly fills out the majority of the low end spectrum that you can hear with precision as well as great impact and rumble when required. Atmos: The 6 upfiring speakers do a tremendous job of giving precise and convincing height effects. I have a somewhat optimal room for this but I can tell you that in my room at least things fly all over the room and at different heights effortlessly and seamlessly; the exact Atmos experience that I was hoping for and the Dragon delivers in spades. Content Played: Movies I played everything from DTS:X and ATMOS from my Panasonic ub-420 player for lossless content, over 30 what most would consider excellent demo material discs and always came away highly impressed and many times shocked at just how immersive the content was. I used the Default Movie 2 setting. The Dragon can precisely place objects in 3d space exactly as the producers intended and again the Dragon does this effortlessly and accurately every single time (normal volume 12-14). I also streamed off AppleTV with the same amount of content and it was equally impressive considering the lossy format, however, volume had to be increased of course slightly (volume 18-20). Music To be honest, I use Apple Music and stream from my AppleTV mainly now. The music Atmos content is hit or miss depending on the song, but if the sound is mixed well, it sounds phenomenal on the Dragon. I prefer all stereo sound when listening to non-Atmos music and all content sounded great to me. I used the default Music 1 setting. Depending on the content, I might disable two subs to create the right sound profile. I listen to metal, edm, rap, techno, industrial and rock. I am more into watching movies on the Dragon, so this aspect of my listening is probably only 25% of my time to be fair. App: The app designed for the Dragon is terrific, it allows quick adjustments from almost all the main features in a very current and user friendly layout that doesn't interfere with the content being played on screen. I actually also use it to double check that the buttons pressed on the remote actually were what was being played by the Dragon; incredibly useful and intuitive. Conclusion: I have a good feel for the Dragon, and the Dragon delivers sonic bliss in a box. Effortless, detailed, balanced and immersive sound is what you get with the Dragon. The analogy I can make is imagine the best calibrated IMAX theater in regard to sound, then imagine that in your own home but with Atmos, DTS:X Pro, more channels and with even better sound; that's the Dragon. It is in a class of its own and deserving of the Dragon moniker. I believe the Dragon is worth every penny, and anyone who purchases this soundbar system is in for an audiophile experience if they are willing to invest the time in proper set up and making sure the settings are always correct for the content being played. You have to be willing to tweak and play around with all of the multitude of options to make the Dragon soar. When set properly, I the Dragon cannot be easily matched at all. Those are my early impressions, take it or leave it but I have been absolutely satisfied with my purchase and will update with more specifics when I have more time under my belt and more firmware updates are rolled out. Nakamichi always improves their hardware with firmware updates over time, but I am not sure of how much more they can improve the already stellar experience; yes, the Dragon is just that good!

Worth it's weight in gold!
DRAGON 11.4.6
The hope was that the Dragon would breathe fire in a vaulted ceiling open concept "great room". To get movie theater results, i was facing great costs in wiring ceiling speakers and ways to get side surrounds approved, or purchase the Dragon 11.4.6. IT DELIVERS!! Dialed in the speaker distances and channel volume calibrations and sat back with my eyes closed to play the 747 Take Off demo. You would swear there was a plane roaring overhead!! All 4k discs and streaming platforms have all benefited greatly from this beast! Thank the Rayman and the engineers for their incredible work! Upgrading my TV just to match the awesomeness and to finish the goal of a theater in my living room because SOUND is definitely checked off the list!!!

My Full Dragon Review after 10 days
DRAGON 11.4.6
Unboxing: A+++ It took me about 10 minutes to pull down my 9.2.4 ARC system with rears all mounted on the walls. I had the Dragon together and powered up in maybe 10 minututes. I used some 38" plant tables to mount the rears because the Dragons ones were too short for my couch. A+++ absolutely the best experience you can have. This system can be installed in any room and immediately provide an ultimate experience. My Room Configuration: C My room is 16x16x9 and I live in a townhome with pretty thick walls. I'd rather have a house so I could blast this thing to full power occasionally but for the most part I'll be keeping it under 25 where I live. Since I can't feel comfortable flexing the dragon at any volume I'm rating my Room at a C. However, the dimensions are pretty optimal I believe as the system fits really well Paired equipment: A I have a Samsung QN85QN90B 85" TV and 2 media players (old KD links and nVidia Shield Pro) all source material is .mkv files contained on my 3 NAS's. I have an Ameriwood backlit entertainment center that fits the dragon perfectly and also has LED fireplace for mood lighting. I would say a nice bright picture in 85+ TV or larger projector would be highly desired to pair with the Dragon. Media must play things like TRUE HD, Atmos, DTS MA, using 2.1 HDMI. Setup & Configuration: A- Initial setup was pretty awesome, the bass seemed weird to me at 1st, but later I came to realize that my previous system was unbalanced and I got used to listening to too much muffly bass and not crisp precise bass coming out of the quad subs. After 20 or so movies, I'm really digging the precise bass that seems to pick up everything. Anyway, I had to tinker anyway, so I setup all my precise speaker distances, experimented with various loudness's on each speaker setup, singling out surround, height, bass, just to see how it altered the system. Ultimately, I'm now pretty close to the default currently. Rating A- as there could be better options for equalizer settings but overall, just about everything you can need is available via OSD and most directly on the remote. A- and hoping that more will be available via the Android app or future updates. Remote/OSD/App: B I liked the idea Caleb said with the OSD being an overlay so you could still be watching the picture, but not going to remove points for that, maybe the app will correct. (at time of this writing I'm still waiting on Android to be released). The rest of the OSD is a piece of cake, you really don't need the manual as each option tends to explain what it does right in the setup. The remote is nice, heavy and feels well-constructed. It has just about all the options you may want right at your fingertips and the presets work very well. I saw others complain about the remote not lighting until after you press a button. I agree that would be nice, but not a major flaw. Rating a B for now. Media Experience in order of use. Movies: A+ This was going to be the real meat and potatoes of the Dragon where it shines unlike any other system. As many others have mention ed the clarity of the dragon is 2nd to none. Every sound is reproduced with precise clarity on the Dragon, the bass will do whatever you ask it too (vibrate everything in your house or can be turned down to wherever you like) I saw a lot of threads on placement, and I have followed the advice but haven't really noticed much difference. I currently have the bass turned down a couple points in the OSD (this is not the same setting as on the remote) and that lets me crank it on the remote to the proper highs or lows I'm looking for. Content is definitely key and that just doesn't mean having a great track, it depends on how the movie was filmed/produced. Movies like Van Helsing and Tenet while having loads of sound and being great movies didn't really strike me as much as say Tron Legacy (sound everywhere and amazing bass), The Great Wall (the whooshing arrows and dragons running around tihought they were coming through the walls and ceiling), Dr Sleep (amazing parts when the spoke via telepathy, it really came from everywhere). The Boogeyman 2023 and Evil Dead Rise (great immersive sound effects ok movies). TV shows: A I've only been watching 1 show so far (Star Trek Strange New Worlds) and like movies I think the Dragon is remarkable with reproducing every sound with perfect clarity, booming bass, and very immersive effects. Depending on the source material the Dragon will do wonders. As I watch more shows I expect the Dragon to perform the same on TV as it does for movies. One caveat is that I usually watch TV shows later at night at lower volume and the immersiveness is much less at volume of 10 then when watching a movie at 15, 20 25... I tried to calibrate differently to adjust to this but really night mode (which I'm not usually a fan of) seems to be the best option. Kind of neat how you can do night mode 100% and 50%, I've never seen that before. Music: B I have 2 sources of music, a YouTube premium subscription (primary). I have to play with the settings more but traditional music (Metal, Rock, live concerts, pop) are plenty loud but I haven't found the right balance yet and actually enjoyed my muffly bass on my previously inferior system better. Now my current favorite type of music is EDM hardstyles. I listen to a lot of Q-dance, Sefa, Ran-D and this stuff was made for the dragon. I've pushed it to 80 so far and absolutely clarity, precision bass, the feeling like something in my house is gonna get broken if I don't turn it down. So since this is the type of music I listen to the most I'm giving the Dragon an B for this category, but I really need to do further investigating on more traditional music. I honestly don't listen to that much anymore. GAMES I haven't gamed in 20 years so can't review this Overall Thoughts A- This is pretty much what Nakamichi has advertised it as an "Enthusiast Home Surround System" That offers very simple ease of use and puts a powerhouse high end system in the hands of any consumer without the need to research components, compatibility, to put together a great AVR system. I think it's a waste of time comparing the Dragon to any current "sound bar" as they do not and cannot compete except at low volume, but I can't see any other sound bar out performing a movie theater or competing with a descent AVR system like the Dragon does. If you don't like it loud, and don't or can't (due to living in an apartment) turn the dragon up, then I would highly recommend getting a sound bar or something much less powerful. If you can't afford the now $3900 + tax of the dragon, but want something pretty good I'll look at the Nakamichi 9.2.4 EARC (check eBay for direct from manufacturer open box deals as low as $1100). If you want better individualized system with better effects the I'd do what people have been doing and buy your own components to setup an AVR system. The Dragon is for lazy people like me that was a simplified super performing surround system and don't mind paying for it. I got what I paid for, but the annoying 5 months waiting and shipping issues I give it an A-

Zero regrets; lives foreverchanged
DRAGON 11.4.6
We topped off moving to the burbs and no longer having to worry about the units above and below us by welcoming the Dragon. We have been blown away by the power and clarity of the main unit and the legit rumbling of the subwoofers. There have been several times where the surround speakers have made us think someone else is in the room or sounds are coming from other parts of the house. We 'upgraded' from the flagship Samsung unit (still use it another room), but the Dragon blows the ole reliable Samsung out of the water. You get what you pay for, and this is a premium years-long investment.

My best friend
DRAGON 11.4.6
I first knew about Nakamichi when I was stationed in Guam in 1987. The supreme tape deck at the time, and then when stationed in Japan the best of the best. When I first saw the presentation at the CES didn't hesitate to pre-order as soon as it became available. So far the Dragon is far and beyond anything available today and for years to come. The rest of the sound bars are just imitation, simulations, and trickery. The Dragon is amazing and future proof.

The dragon has awakened!
DRAGON 11.4.6
So far this review is from early use of the system but the dragon has exceeded my expectations. While the product is not cheap by any means it does seem to be well worth the money and I feel like I have a high quality product. The bass is unreal and can even shake the walls and couch if turned high enough. Audio is crisp, clean and clear and by tweaking the settings you can have a full Dolby theater in your house. I used to spend $22-24 a movie ticket to see movies in an AMC Dolby cinema but now I can enjoy any movie almost the same way at home. Surround is way better than any system I've used. Rain sounds go all around you and you can feel the sounds in your skin… I know sounds strange but true. The system is big but still esthetic. I have a 77in tv and the system compliments the setup. If you have a smaller tv it might look a little too big under it but that's just my opinion. Watch some review videos and you will see it's an absolute BEAST!

My Dragon is a monster
DRAGON 11.4.6
Let me start by saying I first heard about Nakaimichi during the shootout in 2018 during CES. After that I bought my first Nakaimichi soundbar. That's wasn't that good because of a constant pop I always got. I eventually upgraded to the Nakaimichi shockwafe which at first was okay, but once I got the firmware update for DTS X, the system became unbelievable. The update took my system to another level. I watched Avengers End Game, The Greatest showman, Spiderman in the inverse, and it left my jaw on the floor 🤔 90/100 I was extremely happy with the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE ARC 9.2.4 1000 Watts. Then again in CES I heard about the Nakaimichi Dragon and it got my interested 🤔 I had the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE ARC in my masterbedroom and in my basement I was so impressed by the Nakaimichi shockwafe unit. When the Nakaimichi dragon went on sale my nephew told me to pull the trigger in April to get it. So I did, but in doing so I came into contact with some other individuals who were serious about there AVS System. Who had also had the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE ARC and also pre-order the Dragon. But they had also purchased the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc in 2022. I was informed that it was a major upgrade from the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE? Like 60% better? I found this hard to believe because the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE was already so good. The Nakamichi shockwafe SSE Earc form factor hadn't changed that much from the original Nakaimichi so how much better could it be🤔 So While waiting for my Dragon, The Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc went on Sale, and I was tired of waiting for my Dragon, so I bought one. I decided to put the new Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc in my masterbedroom because the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE ARC in my bedroom was always giving problems. I often didn't hear subwoofer or surround sounds and I gave up on the unit. Once the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc arrived. I replaced the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE with the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc. I didn't change any Power cables or speaker cables. Because it used the exact same cables as the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE. But I did order tons of brand new HDMI cables for the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc and Nakamichi Dragon. Because the HDMI cables on both were at least 5 years old. I changed the HDMI cables last, and what I noticed many of the things were not working on the eArc like the original Arc. But once I used the HDMI cables everything began to work. Letting me know the problem with the Nakaimichi shockwafe in my bedroom was bad HDMI cables. Once I replaced all HDMI cables I put in UHD Blueray of Training day, John Wick 4, and Top Gun Maverick, my jaw was on the floor. I couldn't believe the improvement over the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE. It was a totally different experience. I was blown away by the engineers at Nakaimichi, how much they improved the shockwafe with the exact same form factor. Well the Dragon arrived on September 6th and once again Nakaimichi did it again. The Dragon is 50% improved over the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc. It's so clear and so immersive it's like being in the movie itself. What is scary is I'm aware with firmware updates it will only get better. I bought the Nakaimichi dragon sight unseen and unheard. Paid upfront for something I'd only seen in a hotel room at CES 2023. I believe once again Nakaimichi over delivered. It's a work off Art and Fantastic system.

The Dragon can do it all
DRAGON 11.4.6
I have had the system for almost 2 weeks and after adjusting the settings, I will say that I have no regrets replacing my 5.1.2 AVR system with the Dragon. I am very please with the quality, simplicity, and adjustability of the Dragon. Whether you are looking for simple connections, loudness, immersion, cool factor, power, bass, Atmos effects, music or a nice presentation, the Dragon delivers a complete package with next to no-compromise.

Outstanding performance in a soundbar based system
DRAGON 11.4.6
Coming from a standard 5.1.2 soundbar system to a full scale 11.4.6 soundbar system with 2 subs and rear, we a discussing a giant leap. Also coming from a separates system with 2 dual mono amps and separate speakers and subs, still a big upgrade. Nakamichi gets it right where it counts, pure sonic magic. The system gets ultra loud to the tune of 125db which no one needs but the headroom, the dynamic range is phenomenal for a system of this nature. Music on this system is a great listening experience and the immersive surround sound of Dolby Atmos and DTS X is an absolute must listen. Dragon is an essential system for those who want the best possible all in one home theatre w/o wires.

Chicken Soup for My Ears
DRAGON 11.4.6
The Dragon was an easy setup, the only thing that needs adjustment is finding a sweet spot for placement of the subs. It's really important to find the proper spot. I also will say that in the app the bass at least for me was at 1 adjust this. Start it off at 5 and see how it works for you. I have tested Chapter 2 of Ready Player One, (Racing Scene) at volume 30 and it was incredible the Atmos was incredible the bass was good. Remember this is coming from a person coming from a 1st gen Sonos. I have nothing to compare it to regarding the Atmos. The sound is just crisp and clear. It filled the entire room. I'm really impressed. I also popped in Transformers and the first 20 minutes or so. There is a scene where the glass shatters, it was just amazing how the dragon handles that scene. My son tested spotify with a bunch of songs, at different volumes and settings and he liked Music 2. He said the Dragon didn't disappoint him, he was really impressed. he's 23 years old and not much impresses this kid. Overall, I am more than happy with what I paid and with what they delivered. It's like chicken soup for your ears and into your soul.

Best Home Theater I've ever heard
DRAGON 11.4.6
I am obsessed with the Dragon. The entire experience from purchase to delivery and performance has been incredible every step of the way. Dragon has so many options for configuring the independent channels, I'm 10 days in and still playing and tweaking just to seeing I can do a thing to make it better. Fortunately, I've been taking a lot of notes so know how to go back to my favorite settings and play again and again. Unknown there are 2 favorite settings on the remote, but I think it would be super beneficial to all Dragon owners to have 10 favorites saved and accessible through the app or on screen display. The entire Nakamichi team deserved awards and rewards for all the wonderful work they've done with Dragon. Thank you all!

DRAGON 11.4.6
I haven't had the opportunity to fully stretch the wings of this system (unanticipated circumstances), but what I've experienced so far has been an improvement over my previous system (STR DN1080). For systems like my Nintendo Switch or PS5, I see an improvement in visual fidelity. The brief sound demos that I ran initially after setting up the system were... remarkable! House shaking bass and clear, crisp highs.Clear spatial separation with height. I love this system! Would love for the Dragon to create an owners community so that we can share tips and observations.

Like being in the theater!
DRAGON 11.4.6
I got mine delivered last Wednesday, September 6. It is incredible. I have had fun playing Atmos and DTS demo clips just to hear what the system can do. Wow! I can hear the sound objects go from front down the side and behind me then back up the other side to front. Also, from front to overhead to the back. Talk about 360-degree sound, it boggles my senses how the sound can bounce off the ceiling and seem to be overhead like this. I credit the power of the speaker drivers having more "umpf" and able to actually project the sound far enough and with the volume needed to sound like the speakers are mounted in the ceiling above me. I got this to replace my Bose 900 Soundbar/surround speakers/dual subs and I am so glad I did. I really loved the Bose setup, but the Atmos was kind of weak sounding in the Bose. The Dragon is so much louder and has punch which when I close my eyes, feel like I'm sitting in the theater. All this with the volume only up to 10-15. This is less than half of what volume I used on my old system which was always set on 40-50 to get the same "loudness" I get from the Dragon at 15. I don't care what the naysayers say, or what they "think" they know about this system without having used it,for me, feeling like I am at the theater while sitting in my family room is what I wanted and this Dragon setup has delivered the goods! Thank you Nakamichi for this incredible sound system!

DRAGON 11.4.6
The Intensity of the Dragon is more Bone chilling than you can imagine! You can feel the clarity of the sound in your bones! i have sonos through out my home. I had sonos latest sound bar, but couldn't quite clearly understand dialogue in most movies, so i returned it. Went back to the original sonos sound bar until my Dragon arrived. I was honestly a bit impatient, because when u fork over $3800, You want it NOW! But Folks, its worth the wait! I was fortunate enough to be in the first 500 club. Anything in life worth waiting for, Is worth the wait! i am still playing around with the system to this day. lots of bells and whistles. If you are No Guru with Electronics or Hooking stuff up, well the folks at Nakamichi will help you! They stayed on the phone and walked me thru step by step until Great sound effects or music are booming at you in your room ! Yes! Thats right, they walked me thru step by step over the phone! My Tech Jeff even held back on his lunch break until he had me up and running! Even had some suggestion's to better tweak my Dragon. A little WARNING FOLKS! The Dragon will bring down the walls! So be careful with the volume control! My next door neighbors house could hear my music! LOL=(LOUD OH LOUD) You also need to be careful as this system will cause damage to your ears if your not careful! The sounds are crystal clear at all decibels! So watch out! If you have the dough, make an investment of your life and buy the Dragon! I am glad I did!

To quote a I2 song…. “But I still haven't found what I'm looking for” Oh but I HAVE Finally found what I was looking for!! Amazing finish, sound, effects, clarity, adjustable to any room and most of all very immersive. It does have an issue with un syncing with my TV input if I have multiple devices (PS5, connected the dragon and/or TV directly. I am unsure why this happens as I've gone thru multiple settings on all devices and done necessary changes. It seems random with the dragon and ah e to manually change source every time I need to flip between devices to get the dragon to sync and play sound. Maybe it's just me and I need to get into the dragoon settings to understand better but I really hope this can be resolved as I've paid premium price for the product and would hate to have not options.

DRAGON 11.4.6
Movies is out of this world, music was fantastic and games like call of duty, I can hear the footsteps of the other players. This bar separates the sound like nothing I have ever experienced. I am completely satisfied with the performance. 100% worth it.

My Dragon Experience
DRAGON 11.4.6
Easy 5 stars. The system fills the room with sound. It is loud and booming, but also clear and precise. Couldn't be happier. Best sound I've ever had. Thank you Nakamichi.

A very satisfied customer
DRAGON 11.4.6
My experience with nakamichi has been a short 1 year of owning the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 but got on the preorder for the Dragon the moment orders were opened for one reason only and that's the amt tweeters. I have been using a pair of Adam A7xs and Sub8 for music listening for about 5 years and love the clarity and natural sound from ribbon tweeters. I liked using the Shockwafe Ultra to listen in all Chanel stereo but always felt the lack of clarity and the Dragon and fulfilled that missing key. Watching movies on the Dragon is totally immersive and definitely feels like I'm in the theaters. Overall a very satisfied customer and would recommend this system. Also the app is very useful and easy to use. Thank you for making this product.
