    Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2 Soundbar Preview

    I do own the 9.2 system and absolutely love it. The rear and side surround speakers are connected by RCA cables to the 2 subwoofers (2 speakers connected to each subwoofer). The subwoofers are powered (need to be connected to power socket), but the audio signals are transmitted wirelessly from...

    Good vibes about the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2

    Cool a fellow Nakamichi owner here who can relate to my sentiments about this beast of a soundbar. Just curious, how big is your room and what are your sound settings? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Bluetooth headphones?

    I'd go with the Sennheiser PX550 or the Sony WH1000XM2. I own the Sony MDR1000X and totally love it. The MDR1000X has the same hardware, noise cancellation and sound EQ as the newer model so I do have a good idea of how the Sony WH1000XM2 sounds, and I do not think the sound is thin, perhaps it...

    Good vibes about the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2

    I agree with you. However, building an immersive system requires lots of effort and investment, which many home theater enthusiasts or perhaps audiophiles on a budget do not have. I think Nakamichi has done a great job in creating a solution that specifically suits this growing niche of soundbar...

    Good vibes about the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2

    That was actually a typo error on my part. I actually meant to say “Since it does not have Dolby Atmos, I was curious to see how well the system could handle Atmos movies”. Sorry for the confusion. And yes, I do think the Nakamichi out-performs all the other soundbars that support Atmos because...

    Good vibes about the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2

    Been seeing a lot people talking about it too! Both over here and on avsforum. I was one of the preorder customers for the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2. The surround sound and quality of this product, together with my very positive correspondences with Nakamichi (I asked their support a few questions...

    The Nakamichi Shockwafe DTS:X Ultra 9.2 Soundbar Giveaway

    Too bad I already have this soundbar and I'm totally in love with it. Definitely the best soundbar out there if you are looking for the best surround sound in my opinion

    Best Bluetooth headphones?

    If you find the Sony WX1000XM2 too thin for your taste, then I don't think there are many other possible options for you out there because in my opinion, the Sony has one of the best midranges and bass for a wireless headphone. Perhaps you might want to consider the Sennheiser PXC 550 then if...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    Just saw that Marshall Guthrie attended Nakamichi's demo during CES. The company did a blind comparison shoot-out between the Shockwafe 9.2 ($1099), Samsung HW-K950 ($1199) and Creative Sonic Carrier ($5799). The Nakamichi was the winner out of the 3 soundbars despite being the most affordable...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    Being a huge skeptic I have had a few email exchanges with Nakamichi about this new 9.2 bar. I somehow get the impression that they are indeed moving away from their low quality crap because of 2 observations: 1. They seem really confident about their 9.2 bar. The person I spoke to said that...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    Found some live footage of the 9.2 sound bar taken back in jan, CES 2017 this year. Pretty sure the company demo-ed a prototype because the subwoofers in that video look smaller and different from the ones in the current product images. It is only detailed video I can find on the internet so...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    They just replied me on Facebook. Each of the subwoofer weighs 25.6lbs. I also asked them what are the subwoofer dimensions since that affects the amount of air that can move inside, which is an indication of headroom and how deep and loud it can go. Subwoofer dimensions = 13 x 11 x 20.5...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    Was looking through and Tony Leotta from Audioholics actually did a preview of it earlier this year: http://www.audioholics.com/soundbar-and-satellite-speaker-reviews/nakamichi-shockwafe-9.2-soundbar Honestly quite surprised he had a positive impression of the prototype he listened to. Anyhow...

    A soundbar with 2 subwoofers?

    Seems rather unconventional from a company we all used to know. Just saw from another forum that Nakamichi has released a 9.2 soundbar that comes with 2 10-inch subwoofers. www.nakamichi-usa.com/shockwafe-ultra-preorder While I am having 2nd thoughts about the brand because it is not the...
