This is a surround system that you need to have!! AMAZING!!
How do we start?!! I also want everyone to know that I’m not sponsored, affiliated, or have anything to do with this company or Amazon. I’m leaving a review like this because of the excitement this system has brought me. I have used many different surround sound systems and this trumps every one I have used so far!!First off, the packaging is done very very well and all of your components are protected! There is so much packed in this box. There are wall mounts for all of your speakers, wires for everything, and very nice instructions. The subs are very impressive when you finally get down to the bottom of the box and you just start feeling like a child on Christmas morning!! Setup is very easy and detailed. I have 12’ vaulted ceilings so I did not set my speakers to upfire. I have the subs on both sides of the sofa, speakers behind the sofa, front surround speakers about 3’ in front of the sofa, and the soundbar mounted below the tv. Just so your aware, when you first turn this on and hear what it sounds like, do not be discouraged. Don’t get me wrong, it will blow most people away without changing settings. But for the people with a more sensitive ear to quality, adjusting the treble, bass, center speaker volume, surround speaker volumes, room size, and stereo type, you will be very very pleased! The first thing I did was get a Dolby atmos video off of YouTube to try this thing out. Holy Moly!! The bass vibrated my entire house. My finance was getting ready in our bedroom which is about 50’ away from this system and said she could feel the house shaking! The surround speakers make you feel like your in the tv with the sounds circling you. It’s amazing! The soundbar and surround speakers are very crisp. Even at loud volumes! I can’t tell you how loud it will go as it’s already too loud at level 60 out of 100. I’ll either blow the windows out or get the police called on me if I go louder than that😂. We just watched the new Planet Of The Apes with the kiddos and I asked them if the sound was as good as the theatre. They both said this system is better than the theatre because you can actually feel the rumbling and feel the sounds around you. I am so very pleased with this system!! There are some cons but nothing that would prevent me from giving this system 5 stars!! The cons I have run into so far is that the tv for some reason will not save and recognize the soundbar. So every time I turn the tv on, it asks me to name the HDMI. I’ve done this 20 times now and it still asks me. This may completely be that it’s a cheap ONN tv and may not be anything to do with the soundbar. But it does not affect m me enough to look into it further. The other thing is that if you want to listen to music, I highly recommend downloading your music app to your tv and playing your music over WiFi. To most the Bluetooth may sound okay. But I find that the music is way more clear through my Apple Music app through the tv. The only thing I wish this system had is an app to control and setup the features and I wish the surround speakers were actually wireless. Other than that, this system is amazing! And please, whoever is reading this, please know that even the most expensive system on the planet will have its flaws. So please don’t take my cons as me saying that you should not get this. They are just my personal opinions. I 100% recommend this system to anyone that can afford it! If you can’t afford it, save for it because you need it 😂. Now I’m going to save up for the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Quad System!!

OMG, welcome to the theatre
I'll start by saying that I upgraded from the Nakamichi elite 7.2 system with two surround speakers and two 8" subs (older model from 3-4 years ago), to the Ultra 9.2.4 (newest model just behind the dragon) and I'm comparing the two, and wow.... What a difference. This is long, but if you are trying to decide if spending the extra cash is worth it, I hope this helps.Bass - the bass is felt vs being heard. The Ultra has very deep bass that shakes the room, just like your favorite theater experience. The elite with the dual 8" subs were great, but the balance of sound vs bass coming out of them was just slightly off. I didnt feel this way until I heard the 10" subs and then I really noticed. You would hear what sounded like muffled voices trying to come through the speakers from the elite. I'm a big bass lover when I watch movies. If you like that rattle your windows, feel it in your toes kind of rumble, go with the Ultra. Great power without the voice distortion.Clarity- the highs are so much better with the Ultra. My dad who is hard of hearing commented on the clarity the first time he heard the system. He could actually hear it all, even with the system being turned down a bit. I really had to crank up the elite to get the clarity. That could be due to the 8" subs always drowning the highs out slightly with too much sound coming through them instead of rumbling low bass. It was a catch 22, I wanted to feel the bass, but by turning it up it would drown out a bit of the highs. It just wasn't as balanced. I think I was looking for too much bass out of the elite. That's on me. The elite is more than enough for 90% of home viewers.Surround- this system makes movies so much fun. It's truly a theater experience. I can't tell you how many times someone has looked over their shoulder looking for the noice they just heard. It takes scary movies to the next level. If you are a gamer, you can tell what direction something is coming from and respond as needed. Behind you, next to you, in front of you... Very emersive. Yes there are wires, so there's limitations on how you set it all up depending on your room.Connectivity- this was the game changer. The elite had issues with the Bluetooth from the sound bar to the subs, which means connectivity issues from the sub to the rear speakers. Most of the time it was a non issue. Other times it was maddening and because it was unpredictable, you just never knew what to expect. It is what drove me to the Ultra to be honest. That crackle of the rear speakers and distortion of bad as it would momentarily disconnect drove me insane and nothing seemed to fix it. Though I never changed the frequency that my router ran on (Nakamichi recommended) and to be honest, I shouldn't have to. When my family replaced their cell phone's and we were working on transferring data and updating to current software, the elite was rendered almost useless during that time. We also often had to keep the cellphones in the other room to limit any potential Wi-Fi disruption. Crackle, crackle, crackle, went the rear speakers and talk about a very distracting thing to be happening during your favorite F-18 dog fight scene in Top Gun Maverick. The Ultra has had zero issues with connectivity regardless of the phone or router placement. Huge win for Nakamichi. I'm sure the newest elite models have corrected this issue, mine was older.Elite will give you the small town theater experience. Great value, big sound, solid bass, but it takes more adjusting settings to get the most out of it.Ultra will give you more of the iMax experience. Big sound, ease of use with sound settings, and you will feel like you are in the storm vs watching the storm through a window.

The sound quality is great and the wireless connectivity has been flawless. Had this system for over a year with zero issues.

Pretty darn good but not great
Setup was easy and it worked out of the box. I read the instructions and changed settings to fit my needs.I use the all channel stereo for playing music over Bluetooth and it gets pretty loud and sounds good.I've watched a couple movies via Chromecast and Disney+, sounds good but I wasn't really paying attention to the surround.For the price, it has some issues that shouldn't exist.-The power cable doesn't fit and has to bend out of the bar is sitting on a surface. Mounted on a wall it could come out of the bottom. It should fit regardless.-Surround speakers have quiet static when nothing is playing. No audio signal should equal no signal to the speakers.-Does sometimes sound like a tin can on certain media. However, it does have the tr+/- buttons and I adjusted the treble way down. Seems to help.-Included cables are cheap AF. The RCA's and power cables are the type you get with the lowest cost cheapest electronics.
