Nakamichi Dragon Surround System Review — Zeke Jones / Digital Trends

We’re always on the lookout for soundbar deals, and the Christmas shopping season has given us numerous great offers on top soundbars from brands like Samsung and Sonos. But if you’re looking for one of the best Dolby Atmos systems money can buy, we suggest taking a look at this incredible Nakamichi offer:

For a limited time, when you order the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Surround System, you’ll pay $3,200. At full price, this model sells for $4,000. We tested this system a couple of years ago, and reviewer Caleb Denison said, “The Nakamichi Dragon is just light-years ahead of any soundbar-based system.”

Why you should buy the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Surround System

A good surround system should do more than give you the occasional rear-speaker effects during an action movie. Thanks to some genius audio engineering, the Dragon 11.4.6 covers your entire listening space in floor-to-ceiling sound. We couldn’t believe our ears when we heard just how powerful this system is. The folded tweeter design brought crisp-clear treble to the table. With its 14-driver configuration and seven digital amps, the Dragon delivers a humongous soundstage with plenty of low-end oomph and up to 3,000 watts of power.

Built for HDMI switching, the Dragon has three HDMI inputs and an eARC output (all of which are HDMI 2.1-certified). The soundbar also supports all HDR formats, VRR and can output a 4K signal at up to 120Hz (and 8K at 60Hz). The 4K video upscaling on this bad boy is pretty great, too, and you’ll even be able to stream music to the Dragon over Bluetooth.

The Nakamichi Dragon made its way onto our best soundbars roundup, and it’s definitely one of the top Dolby Atmos options. It’s hard to say how long this markdown is going to stick around, but this is one of the best prices this Nakamichi system has ever been. Save $800 when you order the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Surround System today, and be sure to check out our lists of the best headphone deals and Bluetooth speaker deals for even more audio discounts!

Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar setup has a $300 price cut this weekend

The Samsung Q-Series 11.1.4-channel surround sound system set up in a luxurious living room.

Soundbar deals have been some of the best AV promotions to take advantage of in the lead-up to Father’s Day, and this Samsung one is a markdown you don’t want to miss. For a limited time, the incredible Samsung 11.4.1 Q990C Soundbar is on sale for $1,600, which is $300 off the normal price of $1,900.

Why you should buy the Samsung 11.4.1 Q990C Soundbar
There’s a good chance you own a Samsung TV (we have an awesome list of Samsung TV deals too!), but if you purchased yours in the last couple of years, the Q990C soundbar and your Samsung QLED, QD-OLED, or traditional LED-LCD will be able to connect together wirelessly. While this isn’t the first time a soundbar has been able to do so, the advantage here is something called Q-Symphony. This combines all the drivers in the Q990C with the speakers on your Samsung TV. The end result: bigger and bolder audio, across a wider soundstage.

Sony TV deals are always popular because who wouldn't want to enjoy savings when purchasing a screen by one of the best TV brands?

It's still not cheap, but that's an excellent price for a TV of this caliber. You need to hurry with the transaction though, as we don't know when the bargain will end.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Sony Bravia XR X90L 4K TV
The 65-inch Sony Bravia XR X90L 4K TV features 4K Ultra HD resolution for extremely sharp details, enabled by the brand's Cognitive Processor XR.

Save $350 on Samsung’s best soundbar bundle for Memorial Day

Samsung HW-Q990D Dolby Atmos Soundbar.

If you already have a great TV, even if it's not one of the best TVs on the market, the next best upgrade is to grab yourself a high-quality soundbar. While there are a lot of different brands out there, Samsung makes some of the best soundbars you'll find, like the Samsung Q-series 11.1.4 ch. which, as you can tell, has a ton of channels for you to work with. Luckily, Samsung is knocking $360 off the $2,000 price tag, bringing it down to a more justifiable $1,650 as part of the Memorial Day weekend sales.

Why you should buy the Samsung Q-series 11.1.4 ch. Wireless Soundbar
One great thing about going with a Samsung sound bar is that if you already have a Samsung TV, you can pair both and use the TV's soundbars as part of the whole audio soundscape, so it's like adding an extra couple of channels into the mix. Even if you don't, you get a total of a whopping 22 speakers combined when you include the subwoofer, satellites, and the soundbar, meaning you can create some really powerful surround sound even if you don't have a Samsung TV. Total power sits around 656 watts, so it can get really loud if you really want to pump up the volume.
