Andrew. Any future plans on reviewing the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6?

[@FelipePerez-ro4zg]

Hi Andrew, I would like for you and Kristi to do a review of the Nakamichi Dragon Soundbar Home Theatre and then possibly have a head to head with the Ambeo Max with 2 added subs and 2 added surrounds(speakers). Also maybe compare it to a system with ab AV receiver and some Klipsch towers, subs and surrounds that add up to approximately the 3,900 that the Nakamichi Dragon will retail for. Thanks for all your awesome reviews.

[@moonytheloony6516]

I've always liked Bose. Despite the well-known disdain from a lot of audiophiles (I never take their opinions seriously, as a rule) I've found the majority of their products to sound impressive whether the source is music or movies. This soundbar sounds like a fantastic option of which I'm not surprised.

I can’t wait until we have real-time AI assistants like Ironman’s Jarvis telling us things like, “Turn the left front speaker inward 5 degrees. Now bring the right surround speaker closer to your listening position by 6 inches. Good. Now let me redo the calculations. Please stand by...” 😅 That’s the future I’m excited for!

I have been lucky enough to get the new Bose Ultra. For me it is helping with a hearing impairment and I can hear the dialogue clearly in all the movies I’ve watched so far. It is a game changer for me.

[@luvtechLynn]

Great review! I have the 900, base module 700, and surrounds 700. Very pleased with it. I also love dialogue clarity, which I think the 900 has….but it sounds like the Smart Ultra with AI is even more impressive. Thanks again and love Kristi’s take as always!

Bose once used to be my aspirational speaker, and the same for a lot of Indians. I remember the time i had bought the soundlink mini 2. It punched way above it's class. I had the QC25, the first mass market nose cancelling headphones. I used to show off the NC to my friends, and they were always shocked to experience the ambient noise just disappear. It's sad to see that in the current market, Bose has no products, in the TWS, stereo speakers or the soundbars category that i, or many people wouldn't even consider.

I just got a new Onkyo Reciever a couple weeks, just discovered a "voice" option. I'm running an all klipsch setup and I have to admit, even going +1 on this setting made a noticeable difference.

[@Antibackgroundnoise]

The gloss finish on top makes it look elegant. However when the lights go off and that same top reflects light from the TV, it just might be a little too distracting.

[@randolphblack2554]

A friend of mine with a severe case of tinnitus asked me about a sound bar last year after he had blown a speaker in his TV. I went to his home and he had a nice Yamaha sound bar set up but dialogue clarity was his pet peeve. He asked my advice and I asked him if I could do some research. He stated that he had a 300.00 Budget. Less than ten days later he had a Zvox sound bar. He was more than a little dubious as we set it up. An hour later he called me to tell me that he could understand all dialogue twenty feet away and he was ecstatic, so I understand the importance of dialogue clarity and surround sound clarity. Now as AI applications to audio goes I have no difficulty with it as long as I do not end up in a debate with Alexa or Jarvis!

[@chicken133221]

I bought the 65" S90C. Went from 42" lg ips to this big beast. Amazed. First thing I watched was Netflix The fall of the house of Usher. Beginning of show is definitely amazing to see real blacks and flashes of white from lightning storm. I had put together a small 5.1.2 sound setup and this tv brings the sound to life. My audio is Sony str-an1000 with jamo Studio s803, klipsch R40s as atmos, BIC Acoustech PL-200 Subwoofer. Thinking of doing small upgrades to my audio. Debating if I should start with a better center channel. Ideas?

[@m4nc1n1]

"The Fall of The House of Usher" is great! Especially if you have an Atmos system.

[@ericsrisavaththay2503]

Honestly i skipped the surrounds 700 and went with the surrounds 300 instead, they sound amazing. The sub module 700 is a non negotiable, you absolutely need it to make it sound the best. Great review....btw i actually like it when the Bose throws out sound just to impress me haha

[@frienduro24]

Dialog is the most important feature with any sound system, especially sound bars. Go to the movie theater, the dialog is razor crisp. I testing the Sonos ARC and returned it. Great impressive sound but crappy dialog. Got the Bose 900, which has much better dialog, that said I may upgrade to the Ultra

[@gavriushka]

I can nearly guarantee the whole headpiece for room correction was a satirical nod to audiophiles of old. Love that. I’ve always thought that Bose had much bigger sound than you expect out of them. I still have a tiny Bluetooth speaker from them, that just obliterates in sheer volume and quality much larger speakers. I love their products, simple, easy to use and you get what you pay for. By the way, I bought that tiny speaker in 2015. It still works perfect. So yeah. In terms of AI, whether you like it or not, it’s here, it’s the future and there’s no way around it and so long it’s well implemented and used for the right reasons, I don’t mind it. If it’s a label that doesn’t do anything any better or makes things worse (seen it before), maybe skip that particular product. Great review and conversation! Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday!

[@MechAdv]

I really wish one of these manufacturers would come out with a sound bar that acted as a center channel and maybe a channel surround function, but had RCA out put so that you could integrated into your 2.1 system. This one especially with its AI trickery for elevating the vocal clarity in my mind would be absolutely perfect, if it would then spit out a 2.1 signal to my stereo receiver to use the towers and subwoofer as the left, right, and LFE channels. I really don’t want to spend $3000 on a receiver with pre-outs, just so that I can have a clean center channel and hide channels using my current stereo system.

[@Hof79905]

The 900 series soundbar works perfectly. No reason to spend another $900 for the AI feature IMO.

[@skydancerforever]

I had the Bose 900 with sub 700. No rear speakers. It was ok. Now i have the Sennheiser Ambeo plus with Ambeo subwoofer. ( NOT THE MAX ) the Max does not have good dialogue like the Plus. What a difference! If you want clean dialogue then i don't think any soundbar is as good as the Ambeo plus. Not to mention the Ambeo plus has 3 HDMI ports, Great app, nice remote, plays any Codecs you have including most all Dolby, DTS formats even the older ones with your old DVD's and blue-rays plus sounds great with streaming movies from Netflix, Disney and Amazon prime video. I can even play and listen to my SACD collection thru my Sony 4K blue -ray player on the Ambeo plus. Can't do that on Sonos, Bose and most any other soundbar. If they ever come out with rear speakers for the Sennheisers then watch out. It will then be a complete set up like a receiver / speaker set up.

[@sebastianmerriman8055]

Hi, first of all thank you for all your excellent reviews. I think that I am somewhat in Kristi’s camp in that clarity of dialogue is increasingly important to me. I would be prepared to sacrifice some top end performance for greater clarity there, especially if there was improved music as well. Based on that, would you recommend this over the Q990C? Would Kristi herself choose that? I think a sub is crucial and that then makes the Bose quite a bit more expensive- albeit that that is a slightly separate issue. Many thanks in advance.

[@MahlerHolic1860]

Hi. You've just convinced me to switch from the Sony HT7000 soundbar to the Bose. For the small living room in my apartment, it sounds like the best option. A great video review. Thank you

Can you Share Why Don't You Like The Sony? Thanks

[@MahlerHolic1860]

@shaq6772 I eventually went for the Sony 5000 but was disappointed in the lack of height despite claims to the contrary. Interestingly, I went for a cheaper Bose model and that left me unimpressed too

[@shaq6772]

@MahlerHolic1860 have u tried the sony ht a 7000 or bose ultra?

[@shaq6772]

@MahlerHolic1860 just the reviews keep saying sony 7000 is just the best of the best but usually when it comes to sound bose is well they r bose. That's why I thought maybe someone who have experienced both can say something. It's a rather prices investment

[@garretts431]

Kristi is unique in that she appreciates a subwoofer. Most women, my wife included, hate them. We are currently doing new construction. The TV room will be an open floor plan into the kitchen & dining room. It'll be a big space & I just don't know if the Smart Ultra bar by itself will pump out enough bass. What to do?????

[@Mr.Martini549]

Great review by the way!

[@krandletie1054]

My wife felt the same about subs and I think it stemmed from messy sub/Sat systems that we had before. I bought the Bose 900 and bass module 700. I intentionally set up just the bar and we really liked it. A day later, I added the sub and let her pick one of her favorite movies for family movie night (Return of The King remastered version). She was sold instantly and now probably uses the system more than I do. Order both and give a try. The bass module has a classy look to it and is relatively compact, so it’s not a big, chunky box like our prior subs were.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

theyre great and unlike competitors they dont need extra amp youll get 'better' sound w desktop combo ofc, but portable sound has its own charm

[@RizHail]

In Canada Samsung Q900C is cheaper than Bose Smart Ultra and Sonos Arc. Is Samsung Q900C a better choice?

[@garretts431]

Depends what ur looking for. Off the bat, samsung WILL provide a better bubble for atmos. Thats a given just because bose has no upfiring surrounds yet. Otherwise imo they sound the same when it comes to quality. Sound gets thrown around the room easily with the bose and samsung. Samsung is better price to performance ratio as well. However few things that trouble a lot of people: Samsung subwoofer is hit or miss that it actually is felt. Its mentioned on reviews for bestbuy, reddit, etc. no issue with my bose subs. I had samsung in the past and yeah the bass is not as hard hitting compared to their older models (n950 and q90r). And then of course samsungs famous disconnect issues at times. And D.IN issue for others (gets stuck in D.IN mode and takes a couple resets to make it go away). If bose does bring out upfiring surrounds 100% id go bose again and again.

Like which one would be the best choice (assuming size of room is not important). Can you plz help me with this ??

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Unfortunately, this is not an easy answer. You are looking at wildly different price points. Depending on how familiar you are with these products, for example, Sonos and Bose are very user-friendly, whereas the Dragon is all manual tweaker's paradise. I have not heard the Dragon so I'm not weighing in other than to say it's very expensive and limited in it's features. My pick if you are getting surrounds, sub, etc would either be the Samsung or the Sonos.

Andrew you tested the mini version and you were impressed, I'm confident you would equally if not more impressed with the MAX AX, and with it's connectivity advantage and larger more capable sub would give run for the Sonos's and Bose's money.

[@moonytheloony6516]

I listened to MAX AX and it's very, very good, but I'd still give Bose and Sonos the nod over the MAX AX regarding the sound. For some reason the Polk Audio fell a bit short in the bass department for me. Sonos & Bose sounded better enough for me to consider those two over the Polk, but as is the case in all things audio, opinions are purely subjective. Do you own the MAX AX? If not, what setup do you currently enjoy in your home?

[@lewb.8619]

@@moonytheloony6516 Yes I do, and I'm coming from a full fledged Atmos HT, so I had very low expectations. Regarding the bass, while I agree it's not very good, I think a good room correction could help with it. Btw I wired another sub a monolith 12" slim to the Polk's wireless sub via speaker wires inside the sub so I think my set up would be a bit better than what you might experienced.But is any case the Polk even with the added sub cost less then half of what the Bose does.

Thank you for your support. As for your question, the Sony 7000ES should be more than enough for your Klipsch speakers on its own. If you add a Michi X3 you'd be effectively supercharging your system at which point you could add any speaker you want in the future.

I do have a Samsung TV. Is there anyone of these sound bars you would recommend over the other in regards to my environments specifications?

[@Questions4ALL]

IM shopping for speaker or sound bar as well for my ps4 and soon ps5 I need help as well. I’m using a gaming monitor for video.

[@JimboJason]

Thanks for the review! Hopefully that Sonos ARC review comes out before black Friday. Contemplating upgrading from my Beam Gen 2.

First & foremost, I love the give & take in the review. Our current soundbar is the Bose 700 paired with the 700 Sub & 700 Surround speakers. Obviously it lacks any upfireing / Atmos capability. The introduction of the Bose Ultra allowed the 900 price to drop. I can upgrade from 700 to 900 at a very reasonable price, but the Bose remote that came with the 700 will not control the 900 or the Ultra. Bose calls the remote "Universal", yet not functional for an upgrade. My wife is much more comfortable with the single remote & the possibility of upgrading into two remotes is an issue. In fact, the reason I've stayed with Bose & not gone to Sonos is Sonos requires the use of an APP & that is a non-starter. We both value the ability to "boost" the dialogue for both TV & streaming movies. Now what? Unless Bose can upgrade the "universal" remote to be truly universal, I'm at a loss what could our next step be in upgrading both dialogue & sound. Any suggestions without buying a computer programmed Universal Remote?

[@treverwilliams8711]

For strictly dialogue clarity, would you recommend the Bose ultra soundbar or the Samsung q990c?

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Definitely the bose

[@ghostpimp]

the 990c is better lmao ive had both trust me

[@treverwilliams8711]

@@ghostpimp how would you compare the Samsung bar all alone (no bass or surrounds) with the Bose ultra? Not considering cost, do you still prefer the Samsung bar?

[@ghostpimp]

@@treverwilliams8711 I’d say the bose soundbar because the Samsung is made for the sub & bar to work together very well, the Samsung soundbar doesn’t do good alone considering that wasn’t what it was made for like the bose

How’s does it compete against the arc?

This is covered in the review.

How is the reflecting surface? Distracting at all?

Nope

I know eq settings vary , would just love to see recommendations for a smaller room

[@revotuberacer]

Hey, Andrew, I’m here! The more I keep reading & watching your reviews, the more I walk away from Bose and Sonos and the more I get curious about the Samsung Q930C and the Q990C for my livingroom. How would you compare them?

[@krandletie1054]

My wife 100% empathizes w Kristi because I just have to ruin everything we watch. I’m getting better at biting my tongue though!! We tried the surround 700s with our 900 and returned them. Like you said, they make for linear sound at ear height. Mostly, we weren’t interested in cable management needed for them.

[@TrevBurnham]

Bose’s AI dialog enhancement could’ve been a game-changer if this soundbar had launched a year or two ago. But with the latest version of tvOS, Apple TV comes with its own AI-based “Enhance Dialog” feature. That means that folks who want dialog enhancement can now use any speaker or soundbar they want.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

True, though you're assuming everyone wants an AppleTV.

Great review guys 👍🏼 Tenet would be my 1st movie to try it on. The audio mix drives me nuts trying to hear vocals in action scenes. Btw, I know it's long in the tooth but I saw an ad for the Yamaha YSP 5600 (46 speakers !) brand new on Amazon. Shame Yamaha got into the large Atmos sound bar category way too soon and didn't continue considering the competition out there.
