I don't even know where or what to say! I AM SPEECHLESS!! Mine just arrived today. I hooked it up and it is ABSOLUTELY AWESOMELY AMAZING!!! no need to pay over 10k in a surround sound. If you live in an apartment, better let your neighbors know it's about to get loud. I'm so impressed and excited. Really sounds like you're in a movie theater. Worth the wait. 🙏👍👍

I was lucky enough to get in on the first 500. I absolutely love how clean and loud it is! I currently rent my house, so a dedicated AVR and separate speakers is out of the question. This definitely fills that void, and then some! Set up is amazingly easy. It has enough inputs for the Apple TV, PS5, and Xbox. I personally think the price is a steal for what you get, plus free shipping
@MsMarco6

I don't understand why would renting prevent you from having separate speakers. None of your speakers have to be wall mounted, my atmos setup is all on stands and I don't see why that would be a problem.

Hey, I'm wondering with what TV you are paring this with. With your tv and this sound bar and the PS5 and series X, with all of the settings optimised. Are you able to get all possible top settings and in a practical, does it all work as it should using different brands together? So to explain a bit more, if you play a game on either console, your getting Max audio and visual possible with your set up? And with both options of using the e arc and plugging your consoles into your tv directly and using the pass through.

It was very detailed and organized. I don't go past volume 20 on mine with 4k discs. However, on streaming platforms, i bump it up to 25. It gets very loud quickly and fast...the power of the dragon is awesome 😊 lol...

Had mine for 24 hrs and cranked it halfway and was blown away by the highs and fidelity. As for the lows. The system definitely had low end power when you crank it. It's clean and efficient. I am a Tru basshead with 3 18 sundown zv6 in custom enclosure with 15k watts. With that said my ears are tunes to bass. The dragon has plenty for the average enthusiasts but I found myself wanting more. My dragon levels are maxed out on bass and treble. You have to lower the levels of the highs in order to be able to turn the system up higher to get more bass. Otherwise the highs are excruciatingly loud. I've barley gotten halfway to the maximum setting of 100
@keithskoglund10
@keithskoglund10 3 месяца назад
That's good to know. I just bought the Dragon mainly for TV audio (movies/shows), but I also had a pretty high end car audio setup and I love EDM, so if I play music I definitely need it fulfill bass duties. I went more hi-fi system but went big on subs cuz hi-fi subs dont do shit lol. Focal KX3 fronts, Focal KX2 rears, 2x - Alpine PDX v9 amp actively powering single drivers, Limitless 45aH spare battery, then for bass - dual Fi 12' Q Neo Sub (1ohm), dual taramps hd3000 amps, DD audio DSI-2 sound processor, and some high end pioneer headunit at the time (forgot model).

I waited months for this! Thank you finally doing a review on the Nakamichi Dragon! I watched thoroughly from beginning to end-every second of it-and I had fun. Eversince I saw your initial experience video on the Nakamichi Dragon awhile back, I was intrigued by it and I eagerly looked for reviews online, both written and audio-visual. Your review here was more than fair. The criticism you gave regarding the pinpoint accuracy was just logically honest since we can only 'fool' the brain so far into perceiving sound from somewhere. You have my like for this video, man! God bless you. 🙏🏼 P.S. I hope you would do more videos of this, especially with trying it out on your home theatre room to hear the contrast from your living room and to truly maximize the experience as it was made to be.

Great review Ealan! Thank you for being very detailed and for sharing your thoughts. I have the Nakamichi Dragon in my loft and the Costco home theater 5.2.2 in my living room and honestly speaking the Dragon slayed the Klipsch speakers.😂 The Dragon height channels are so pronounced and very audible in my ears than my Costco Klipsch front firing floor speakers. I want to ask if you tried doing the Nakamichi Dragon demo out of the box? I did first and I was blown away. Anyway, great review sir!

Great review. Very thorough coverage of all the settings. It is even better for me now that I have been using my Dragon for a couple months now. I haven't watched as many movies on it as some owners have and I mostly watch streaming so am usually listening to Dolby Atmos MAT from Prime, Disney+, and Netflix. I watched The Matrix last night (now in Dolby Atmos) and the best Atmos scene I have ever experienced to date was when Neo rescues Morphius from the agents and they are both dangling under the helicopter. There is one part when Neo touches down on the roof of a building and the helicopter goes over your head and then down in front, it is in slow motion, so you get the wop, wop, wop of the rotors. I only had the volume at 20 but in my room, the sound pounded off the ceiling overhead. It was awesome! While this system is not cheap, I am so glad I grabbed one of the first (and $400 cheaper) ones out. Takes movie watching for me to a whole new level. Funny thing is, it was your review 10 months ago that made me pre-order the Dragon in the first place as soon as they opened ordering for the first 500. Ordered mine April 26 and received it on September 6. One question I have is why do you set the crossover to 120? Is that a standard setting for crossover on AVS systems?
@ealanosborne
@ealanosborne 8 месяцев назад
Thanks for your kind words! And congrats on owning your own Dragon! 🎉 So, any Low Frequency Effects added by the mixing engineers are capped at 120 Hz, so I wanted to include all those effects. One thing I didn’t mention in the review (since it was already becoming so long) was that I tested the lowest frequencies that the main unit speakers could handle, which died around 80 Hz. So it was more like 100 Hz at normal volumes that they could handle. So because of that, I set the subs to 120Hz to cover all the low frequencies the rest of speakers wouldn’t be able to reproduce. 🎉
@ericspear3610
@ericspear3610 8 месяцев назад

Check out the Dragon Cinema System if you want the same results..... Cheers! PS: you reminded me that I need to watch the first John Wick film and Gladiator, LOL

Thanks for the great detailed review! I am more a traditional stereo person but, have been looking into this kind of system that can do a good job in both fields. I actually own a high quality Nakamichi cassette deck that I have had for decades & it still impresses compared to advances in audio since. It is nice to see the quality has been brought back away from the junk they had produced in the years in between.

Great detailed review, it might be even more enjoyable in a different room with walls and a lower ceiling. I’m certainly jealous that my Sennheiser plus soundbar doesn’t have surrounds to go with two subs but my couch is against the back wall in my living room so it fills the space nicely. Don’t know if the Ambeo affect is comparable to the Dragon, maybe something to compare.

I was thinking of getting the Sony avrs for the spatial but I was watching Spiderman across the spiderverse. I have a 5.1 with a denon 4800h and an amp and the effects are still better than my iMax (the real ones) theater. I have to lower the volume all the time so my family won't kill me.

Only part way through the video, and it looks great so far! Just a note on the Xbox "Dolby Atmos". I believe it using Dolby MAT. It's a specific piece of hardware that encodes, decodes, and "adds in" the "Atmos" effects to PCM audio. It's very odd and there isn't a ton of information on it, but I talked a little bit about it in my Dolby Atmos Explained video. Great job Ealan!
@ealanosborne

Great review Ealan, I agree the Nakamichi is not just a common soundbar like other else. This Nakamichi Dragon soundbar is one whole complete package of Hifi audio, speakers, sound processor, receiver/amplifier and immersive sound experience. At least it stated on their website....Their engineers goal are outstanding and uncompromising hifi audio in more simple way in the appearance of a soundbar. As I know, this is the first in soundbar ever that using AMT (Air Motion Transformer) as its tweeter drivers. AMT use in high end HIFI speakers. The looks maybe not beautiful, but it's bulky and eye catching, once you see it, you'll notice that is not just a common and decent soundbar.

Plenty of cheaper soundbars out that are still good. The samsung 990c would top that list of budget. Then if/when you have money sonos/nak would be the premiere list. For people who wants receivers lots of options too. Not everyone does though. Try buying a receiver that can do as many speakers as the Nak and its no longer cheap.

I own the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2, which I rate at 4 stars. I drop a star for the Ultra because the frequency response is way too warm (no clear highs), and the EQ treble controls need to be more precise. However, I love the Ultra's rear surrounds on a 7.1 mix, as they are so much more immersive than a 5.1 system. Has anyone owned both a Shockwafe and Dragon? If so, how do you compare the two?

Big fan of the channel, had a curious question. Could be wrong, but assuming the frame tv has an in wall media enclosure with power behind it. Have you considered running another outlet to either behind the soundbar, or on the top of the mantel? Completely understand potential challenge of redoing the millwork of the mantel, but curious if you’ve thought about adding an additional outlet behind the soundbar, but having it turned 90 degrees to not see it behind the soundbar.
@dbarnette89
@dbarnette89 8 месяцев назад
Scratch that, needed to keep watching the video and saw the Samsung box behind the Xbox. If you can, and I think it would be great content, do a video install of the in wall media enclosure for the frame tv. It’s not hard to install, did it at my in-laws house. Would be curious if there’s an outlet on the floor above, or the room behind that’s easier to fish, than to try to do from stud to stud in the millwork. I ended up fishing from the floor above in the install I did because I only had to drill through one stud location.
@ealanosborne
@ealanosborne 8 месяцев назад
There is in fact an outlet behind the TV itself, but since the Frame is so thin and meant to be virtually flush against the wall, you can’t really plug anything into it. 😄 But this was temporary with the Dragon review. I have plans on installing some speaker wire soon with a speaker system that I’m dying to reveal to you all hopefully in December! 🤘

i'm working with an electrical engineer that is working on taking the wireless part of the Dragons subs and putting them into (2) 1600sw Klipsch's. :) Looks like i'll need to use the Dragon subs as "non functional dummies" with the signal wire coming from them and going to the Klipsch's. And with the settings for the dragon i'll only be able to choose 1 or 2 subs with only 2 separate subs .. not all 4 Dragon sub speakers... unless i go with 4 separate Klipsch subs, then i'll have to use 2 signal wire pairs coming from each Dragon sub to power 4 smaller 1400sw's (1) in each corner of the room. We may come up with a better alternative. Hope this all makes sense and it's looking very doable so far :) We'll see.

@@ealanosborne Update: The (2) Klipsch 14's are working using the #1 the and #3 dragon sub channels at the moment, and now i'm considering using (4) Klipsch Reference Premiere 1200's instead.. one for each corner of the room. Not sure yet.. i'm really diggin the 14's. I'm really trying to keep this on a budget and (4) 12's may be the right decision in the end. This was a fairly simple and straight forward mod with the help of my friend. Not something just anyone could do without some electronics knowledge and the right tools. So basically all he had to do was disconnect the Naka 8" drivers from the internal amp.. find the preamp signal.. and use each dedicated (preamp) signal wire on the circuit board and solder in some Rca's wires lol. This is not something you can do w/o the system powered up and receiving a signal !!! Also this is something i Do Not suggest the average person that knows nothing about this kind of stuff do, which is Exactly why i had my friend help me with this! Anyway.. There are now 2 pairs of high quality 35"ft long audio RCA's coming out of each of the bass ports from the dummy nakamichi subs now. I really didn't want to run any cables but i will be able to hide them by tucking them under the baseboard and carpet for the cable runs to rear subs.. and i will most likely shorten the front Rca's since the Klipsch's will sit right next to Naka's. Btw.. The Naka cabinets were not modified at all. We're only using 1 pair of Rca's from the left and 1 pair from the right at the moment which is why we're only using the #1 sub left channel and #3 right sub channel. Both the Klipsch subs had the LFE and Gain and phase set and matched to one another before i started adjusting the parameters on the Naka. If i decide to go with 2 more rear 12's or 14's, they will also be matched to front LFE, Gain and phase settings to start with. Now i just need dial this sucker in over the next few days.. so far i love it. I'm sure 90% of Dragon owners will be very very pleased with the Nakamichi subs as am i, but i just wanted more and i wanted to know if it was possible to do what i just did. The Dragon is awesome.. and yes,, SCIENCE IS COOL :)
@matttafakt
@matttafakt 4 месяца назад
Btw .. Nakamichi could've easily included this hardware option on their subs ! 2 RCA channels and a bypass switch.. or maybe just a wireless receiver with Rca's to plug into any other current wireless sub which would eliminate even having to use their subs to do what i just did. I'm no expert with electronics but it's 100% possible and i'm wondering if there is anything on the market that already solves this need ?

Wonderful review. One question. I didn't really hear a specific section on Atmos height effects. Was that because of your room setup? The Atmos height effects is the main reason I would entertain this system. Maybe you could elaborate a bit more. Also, right now I have a 5.0 system consisting of two Definitive Tech tower speakers for my fronts, a Golden Ear Super Center X center speaker and two Paradigm Cinema speakers as my rears all powered by a DennonS760H. Each of the speakers are excellent, with a very open with a great sound stage. Movie scores sound fantastic. But as I said, I really want an Atmos system but I cannot install upper wall or ceiling speakers where I live. So my question is will the Dragon sound as good as the 5.0 system I have now? Thanks again. And a new subscriber.
@ealanosborne
@ealanosborne 8 месяцев назад
Hmmm…if your walls and ceiling aren’t too far away, the Dragon would do very well compared to your current system. The height effects are the most pronounced I’ve heard from a soundbar system. Still not the most accurate, but definitely sounds clearly coming from up high, which I can’t honestly say about any other soundbar system, since upward firing is not my favorite. 🎉

FR as a whole on couch and FR of subs with SPL capability/compression would be nice.

For me powered speaker systems like this and the fantastic Sony HT A9 I think it was named, is that each speaker plus the receiver box in the case of Sony requires a plug socket. In Sony's case that's 6 power plug sockets 5 for the Dragon system vs a single socket required for a traditional receiver with wired speakers. For me in a room with only 2x double wall sockets, running powerboards on a few of them, finding room for just 1 new required socket is a constant issue. I just couldn't add a further 5 or 6 sockets. I'm in a traditional 4 wall room, I'm sure it would be a similar issue with open concept rooms having to run power cables to the middle of the room to power the rear speakers.

Luckily there’s a hidden socket in the floor beneath my couch, so that’s how I powered the rear surrounds. But I totally get it! I think it’s stilly how all these companies keep claiming “no hassle, wire free setup,” when in fact you still need to deal with a lot of power cords and sockets. 🤷‍♂️😄

I'm not interested in BUYING it because my home theater now has 7 Focal Chora 826's powered by an Onkyo TX-RZ820 (for now, until I get the NAD M28 I want) plus a dual 10" sub and so it's obviously a LOT better, but for an "all=in-one" box solution, it's probably the best out there, certainly better than any of the Bose cr@p.
