Serious props to Nakamichi, I currently have a house full of Sonos equipment so I will not be replacing my Arc, dual subs, and pair of ones in my living room, but you can’t deny the ambition of Nakamichi. The last Nakamichi system I had was the Shockwafe and I was really impressed. While other companies only offered a single sub and maybe a pair of surround speakers but many times not even that, Nakamichi offered FOUR surrounds and for the first time in a soundbar, dual subs. Now with this system having six Atmos drivers, I have nothing but respect for Nakamichi for trying things other soundbar manufacturers won’t.

Oh MYYYY!!!!

Glad to see the great Nakamichi name has been resurrected! I remember way back in the '80's, going to a high-end hi-fi dealer in Lancaster CA, where I first saw and heard Nakamichi products. They had several models including a Dragon. Being a funds-limited teenager, I luster after the Dragon, but couldn't afford it. So, in about 1985 I bought a BX-300, and Bang&Olufsen BeoGram 5500 with MMC4(I think) cartridge. LOVED both of them, and played and enjoyed them until about 2013 when I finally succumbed to the digital age and put them in their original boxes. I hope to be able to get "tune-up" parts for them (belts etc.) and sell them. Glad to see Nakamichi in business again so that perhaps I can get new original parts for them. They played perfectly the last time I used them, and are in perfect condition, so, hopefully I can get a decent price for them, I just want them to go to a good home.

@@overkill1994 I wouldn't call 4 8's "tiny", that's still a lot of surface area, WAY more than a single 12". That's 804 sq in of surface area, vs a single 12" at 452 sq in. I've got 2 10's in a single back-to-back enclosure so that's 628 sq in. But then, all 7 of my speakers (Focal Chora 826's) are large, full-range(ish) speakers so all my mid-bass (down to 48Hz) drivers (2x 6.5" each, I'm not counting the 6.5" midrange) have an absolutely absurd 1,848 sq in of area. It's absurdly punchy in the area where music is actually played with a total of 30 different drivers. And for low end movie effects, that's what the sub is for. So, I think that the 4 8" subs could provide pretty good bass, if not down to a true 20Hz, which, let's face it, few actual subs can actually achieve.

I was hoping they would release a wireless version of their soundbar system. A little pricey but with everything it includes and knowing that it should last more then just a couple of years, I'll be looking into it when upgrade season comes around.

someone brought up a good observation about the setup depicted in the video, the subs are in the front and the rears are well in the rear, so are the rears wireless too or do they still attach to the subs? Its interesting that they got rid of the side speakers and went with true upfiring rears. The part about 4 subs is a bit of a stretch. Its still to sub woofers with two drivers in each, not 4 separate subs. I just picked up the earc and am pretty happy with that especially for the price. Got it on sale for $1500 which is half the cost of this at, rounding up, $3500. Would be really interested to see the youtube reviews and comparison between this and the eARC!

Here’s some information on calibration: DRAGON offers both preset (small/medium/large) and manual room calibration options to optimize for your room. With the calibration tab on the On Screen Display, you can manually input the distances for the different components based on your room environment. For instance, you can input the distance of the Main Unit to the Listening Area, Side Wall, Ceiling and surround speakers to adapt DRAGON’s playback to your listening environment. Specific frequencies cannot be adjusted. However you can 1. adjust the number of subwoofers active, 2. Adjust balance between the subwoofers or 3. Use a different EQ preset that suits your room acoustics better Hope that clarifies, thank you!
