Superb sound experience!
I don’t always write reviews, but when I do, I am super impressed with the product. I chose this system after a careful evaluation of a few Dolby Atmos compatible surround systems in the market. It is very easy to plug and play. You need an HDMI 2.1 cable for optimum performance (which doesn’t come with the product). I bought one from KabelDirect’s Amazon store and it’s good. The subwoofer, I would say is huge and check out the picture for a size comparison with JBL 2.1 subwoofer. It comes with wall mounts and also the cables for back surround speakers (should connect to the subwoofer) are pretty long too. Overall sound quality and clarity are amazing. It gives very good cinematic feel at home.

Shockwafe packs a punch!
I wanted a surround sound system that was easy to install, fit in the space, that looked good and had great sound. I got it all with this system! It’s a bit pricey, but wow does it pack a bass punch! The eARC input easily connects the system, TV and Apple TV with one remote.

This Dolby Atmos Soundbar by Nakamichi SLAPS!!
After extensive research, I purchased the Nakamichi Shockwafe 7.1.4 soundbar system, and I'm incredibly happy with my decision! It's a significant upgrade from my previous soundbar, which recently stopped working. The Shockwafe 7.1.4 offers everything I could ask for in a soundbar: 7.1.4 channels for immersive surround sound, Dolby Atmos support, an eARC connection for high-quality audio passthrough, 850 watts of power, and a sleek design. The 10" subwoofer is particularly impressive, delivering room-shaking bass. My previous soundbar sounded tinny and disjointed, but the Shockwafe 7.1.4 completely blows it away with its superb audio fidelity. I can hear sounds in my favorite movies and shows that I've never noticed before. I'm especially excited about the Dolby Atmos support. Watching content that supports Dolby Atmos with this soundbar is a truly immersive experience. Setup was a breeze, thanks to the eARC connection. I have the soundbar hooked up to an 85" Sony X90CK TV, and everything works perfectly. I love that I can control both the TV and soundbar with just one remote. The supplied remote is easy to use and well-designed. It has dedicated buttons for different listening modes, which is convenient. On a side note, the instructional manual is excellent. It's a large, folding brochure that clearly explains setup, using the remote, connecting peripherals, etc. I love this soundbar so much that I'm already planning to upgrade to the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 channel setup for my next home. But for now, I'm thoroughly enjoying the Shockwafe 7.1.4. Great job, Nakamichi! Keep up the amazing work!
