The 1300w with eARC for $1600 or the 1000w version for $1200.
I have my pc connected to my oled TV via Hdmi to watch hdr movies. For TV and music only. I am not an audiophile.

Also I would two of those surround ceilings and stick them in the ceiling. Would that work?

There were issues on the old version with the wireless subwoofer and 5ghz wifi.

When I returned mine they said the new version would operate on a different band. Curious if it is fixed but I only paid 900, no chance it's worth 1600.

The surround speakers plug into the wireless subwoofers.

Probably

Nakamichi ain't Nakamichi anymore.
They went out of business along time ago and sold the rights to their name to some other company!

I own the $1600 unit. By far the best after comparing with Sony, Samsung, Bose and Sonos. If you are on the edge, read the reviews and decide for yourself. It is better than my local theater. Worth every $

Yes you can change the band. I did that with mine.

Yup. Nakamichi was a top-tier brand in the 80's, and a good brand in the 90's. They made some poor decisions in the late 90's and basically went out of business.

This version of Nakamichi is not the same, and they are whoring out the name. I bought some $15 Nakamichi headphones from Sears before they collapsed as a joke for my co-workers, and those are probably double the quality of whatever is being sold as Nakamichi now. Avoid his brand from now on.

I also got the sears deal on 5 soundboard / headphones etc for nothing with points lol but those Nakamichi aren't the same thing as these and the ones they have been putting out for the last few years . They are using high quality manufacturer unlike the sears days

Nakamichi is trying to make a comeback and get back to its glory days. Yes they went downhill during the sears/Kmart days but they have grown leaps and bound since then, this is a far improved and sophisticated product that actually works. Not even in the same league as the ones sold at sears. They have since poured considerable amount of $$$ into their R&D. I'm still baffled at how its able to recreate some overhead effects with utmost realism.

For absolute sound, aka base shaking, solid mids, and great highs, its awesome.
I put one in my bedroom and hid the dual subs. When a gunshot or something happens, you hear and feel it..
Two years and still the same great sound.

The versions that they may be selling here may be a newer model, so my advice may not be valid.

The one I got did not support any on-screen setting changes, so everything had to be done with the remote control and looking thru their manual to fully set it up and tweek it.
I would NOT recommend if you are buying two for the same house, as the wireless speakers will bleed over from the other sound system. They said that they can fix it, but spending an hour on the phone showed that they were lying...

In the end, I am happy with my product, I got the 7.2.4 system with dual 8s.
