Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am loving my Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2! But instead of trying to pile on to what has already been said about the soundbar, features and audio quality, let me instead give you a high recommendation for which speaker stands to pair it with. And also give you some interesting additional information I have gathered from communications with Nakamichi customer service (Ray) that I have never found elsewhere: I did a ton of research of speaker stands. One of my primary requirements along with being height adjustable, was the the RCA cables from Nakamichi fit down through the support tube, in order to not have the cord dangling/taped/zipped tied all the way down. I highly highly recommend the "Atlantic Satellite 77305018 Speaker Stands" that Nakamichi also frequently recommends. At this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000289DC6/ Here are the reasons why they work well: 1. The *straight* RCA plug on the subwoofer side of the cable *will fit* down the support tube. The right angle plug that is intended for the back of the speaker won't go through, but the straight end will go through, then you can pull the entire length of cable through the tube. 2. The stand comes with the two different sized vertical "L" wire brackets. Your first instinct will be to use the taller one, since it can reach the highest of two support screws on the speaker. But this taller one is also shallower, and forces the speaker to sit too far forward on the stand, therefor making it a bit more tippy. You should use the shorter L bracket, which is also deeper, and lets the center of the speaker sit back more centered on the stand, and make the overall balance much better. In fact, as long as your use the shorter L bracket, these stands will also support the double speakers in dipole mode. 3. These stands will also support using the speakers in "elevation" mode why they lay of their side, and the speakers face at a 45 degree upward angle. You just rotate them, and secure using standard shorter L bracket. 4. They don't come with "carpet spikes" but as long as you use the shorter L bracket, there is no danger of tipping at all on carpet. 5. You can use the screws that come with the speakers to attach the L bracket. If you want, you can also add a washer that comes with the speaker. 6. Great price (currently at $42) for 2 stands in one box. So if you plan to use the 9.2 speaker separately, just buy qty 2 of these pairs to get 4 stands. 7. Adjustable height allows for aligning the speaker at ear level to the listener. 8. Good quality build with high end appearance, and quality black matte finish. Also here are a few interesting tidbits I have received from Nakamichi customer service that I could not find elsewhere: A. As to the future Dolby Atmos/Dolby Vision passthrough firmware upgrade timing it looks like they are planning to have it out for the 9.2 by Dec 31st 2018: Ray at Nakamichi said "Although we already received Dolby's certification for Atmos and Vision, we still need to do tons of testing because every tv manufacturer, streaming box maker and app developer is doing their own thing when it comes to output. It will not be ready until late Dec, providing that stability testing goes smoothly." B. I suggest you consider buying the new 2019 SSE remote for $30 if your Nakamichi came with the 2017/2018 DTS:X labelled remote, due to my positive review of it found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JXS1QRH/ C. If your volume goes up by 2 each time you press it, then you have new enough firmware, to sit and wait for the new Atmos firmware. D. When you make any change in the Setup mode, you need to hit ENTER again after making your selection with the left right buttons, for it to remember your choice. E. Here is the difference between DIMO and DIM3 settings: "Dim 0 = After 10 to 15s of not pressing any function on the remote, the LED display will turn off completely until the next function is pressed. Use Dim 0 if you want your whole entertainment experience to be completely dark with no LED display. Dim 3 = Brightest LED display. The display will always be on and will not dim out." F. Both subs in the 7.2 and 9.2 configs "both play the same mono signal" and not unique left and right bass sounds, so they always combine to create a room filling uniform thump.
