Bought 9.2.4 system last year from Bestbuy for the same price and still amazes me every time we watch movies.

I agree. This system is awesome. Have it running since last November. Don't get hung up on the Atmos part. It delivers truly immersive sound. I have the 9.2.4 system. It also plays well with the CEC on my Sony X900f, Fire Cube and Nvidia Shield. TV and soundbar both come on as soon as I press the Fire or Nvidia remote and they control the volume.

One of those junk surround sound systems with crazy markups.

Exactly. For that price can get a set of real speakers and a receiver.

Didn't nakamichi went from premium system to some Kmart special? I remember when I had a Lexus LS400 way back in the days it was the premium option then I remember seeing this brand in Kmart a decade later
Reminds me of Blaupunkt. They went from being installed in Porsches to Walmart exclusive.

Based on my research and personal test, as well as other notable reviewers, this is one of the best, if not THE best Dolby atmos systems out of the box and a value for what you get. I own Sonos as well and each has a pro and con. And not saying anything differently about their older inferior products, but unless you have heard this particular system first hand, I would retrain from judgement as you might be surprised, and dare I say impressed.

Agreed.
These comments are definitely shills or people who've never had a sound system pre-soundbar days.

Soundbars have their place, but a $1200 system is not it. Doesn't matter what brand it is.

There's a reason Dolby specifies distinct channels, going back to Dolby stereo all the way up to Atmos: Speaker positioning matters (which is also why every "fake" Atmos setup with upfiring speakers is a gimmick, unless your ceiling is perfectly flat and low enough for the reverb).

A decently sized 3 channel setup (L, R, C) will always provide better spatialization than a soundbar. Add rear channels and it's no contest.

Started with the Samsung q90r on a $1300 slickdeal, Good center but not worth the price as the sub and rears are terrible, so I returned it. Bought the Nak 9.2.4 on another slickdeal for $999 much better for lows and rear as compared to the Samsung but still not impressed with the center. And it's a big system size wise. Returned it as well. Will admit I have a high ceiling room so if you have a small room it may work. Ended up going with marantz and DT speakers. Very happy but of course was more expensive than the sound bars. You can add on as $ allows. Good luck with your selections.

When it comes to home audio the price points are wide ranging. But in this case, I would highly consider this system with all that you get. But like anything, you just have to hear it for yourself and let your ears and wallet decide.

Uh oh! Thank you. I just realized this. How they can call atmos when theres no upward firing speakers.
any upfiring or downfiring that is not in the actual roof is fake atmos

Paid ad? No way these are worth a front page at this price.
