Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a repost of my review on the nakamichi speakers. They deleted my reviews probably because they don't want you to know. (Will provide continuous update) I brought this sound bar due to the high reviews it got.  After using it I would say the reviews are way overly positive. Either everyone has very low expectations or they have never heard a quality system. I guess if u are going from an ipod to this this is a great system.  But if you have something to compare this system (like Bose) with that there are a lot of shortcomings that does not demand this price.  The followings are some of the issues I found with the 7.2.4 system after longterm usage: 1.  The system is present to turn on at volume 45, need to load patch to fix. 2.  The sound system logic is very basic, nothing compares to a full fledge sound amplifier that provide much much more audio detail.  This system lacks any directional audio detail. 3.  You can bearly hear anything out of the rear speakers, they are only ON about 5% of the time. 4.  The sound producted from the system is just loud with very very minimal surround sound detail.  2d audio vs 3d audio 5.  The connection wire for the rear speakers are very thin, it's about 3mm thick.  I guess it doesn't matter because no audio comes out of it anyway. 6.  The speaker setting display is on the center soundbar behind a grill, display in pixel led.  You will not be able to see the display if you are more than 5-8ft away.  For the price they couldn't create an on screen display? Useless 7.  The Audio sounds like you are in a tunnel, I guess thats what they think 5.1 should sound like. 8.  The speaker will sometime pop as you traverse through Netflix selections. 9.  There is a 5 second delay in Netflix after a selection before sound comes out of the speakers. 10.  The solution for the slow processing speed for the volume control is to have the volume selection skip every other number.  So, the volume control is only usable by 2 digit increments.  2, 4, 6, 8, etc.  So if u think 7 is just right too bad that is not available. Super dumb! 11.  The inwall screw anchor is one size too large.  There is a great chance the screws could pop out.  You should insert an additional anchor into the one provided. 12.  The sound level fluctuates. 13.  The HDMI cables that came with it are garbage.  For a grand, I would think they could spend $10 bucks for a better cable.  I guess milk you once since they know you won't buy again.  Smart business. 14.  The location of the HDMI plugs are brainless.  This is a sound bar that will be mounted on the wall below the TV.  But the placement of the HDMI plugs are at the back of the unit not even facing up.  Little thought was put in to design this system. I just did all the work for them on version 3.0 for free. Overall, this system didn't meet my expectation and the brand quality of Nikamichi.  Will come back if I find anything else. Please give me a thumbs up if this was helpful. Update (April 2021)  -  These speakers are garbage.  I can't express how much I hate these speaker.  Over price junk.  It has so many problems that it should be considered Beta speakers.  Today the soundbar just started to automatically turnoff every 20 mins.  I guess it because it decided to put itself on standby mode.  I spent 2 hours and still cant find out how to turn that off.  JUNK! (JAN2022) -  I had to come back here to provide another update.  I thought I could get use to the system after some time.  But one can never get use to garbage because it just get more disgusting over time.  This sound bar is beyond my ability to describe.  If you pay over $200 for this system you are over paying.  That is why you see so many people trying to dump this garbage.  I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit for the grief this system cause!  Please save yourself the agony and buy something else. (Jan2022) - Now the speaker is acting up again. The eARC is not detecting apple TV.  Must unplug and retry again.  This has happened many many times.  Can't express how much these speakers are garbage. (May2022) -  Now I have no idea what is wrong with these speakers.  When I turn it on it does not go to the last set values.  Now I have to set it every time.  Also the unit is running slower now.  I haven't heard much from the rear speakers for months. I'm really tired of these speakers. I know why people are selling them.  I just wish the company would take this junk back. (Sept2022) - Now the speakers can't detect the audio broadcast type,  I have to manually select it every time I select something new.  The system also needs to be rebooted every few months.  Itcan't be the only one with these problems.  How could anyone make this garbage! Dec2022 -   update.  The volume control started to go haywire.  It started to pickup some frequency from the apple TV remote when it not even on.  The volume would run to max.  What a piece of junk. Please let me return the UNIT and you will stop hearing from me!
