Andrew. Any future plans on reviewing the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6?
15:45@@gandkdian6334
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.
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!
You just know it's way more likely to be holding a virtual clipboard while it tells us to turn the volume down, and those lyrics are a bit risque and why don't you put that beverage down and go do some weights or something. All for our own good of course.

And my favourite command. " Human, go put your hand in a blender and turn speed to highest setting"
@@lightningboi88 after it gets annoyed with you. "Please take me into the bathtub with you for cleaning."
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. Keeps the special affects the same, but boost the voice through the center channel. As I've gotten older, a little extra voice presence is very much appreciated
What a great video. Love the back and forth perspectives.
Two opposing opinions, with the freedom to express each person's preferences/dislikes, is the essence of great content!
Great review, your guys dynamic makes the review so interesting! Love the channel
Man I love their studio. My new life goal is to decorate my next place like theirs (and of course deck it out with a banging surround system).
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!
Thanks for the review! Hopefully that Sonos ARC review comes out before black Friday. Contemplating upgrading from my Beam Gen 2.
Great review! I also liked you asked your wife for her opinion! Made my decision to buy. Running to BB now to purchase!
Kristi “just watch the movie!” is so many of us! (And I’m still super-happy with the Q990B thx to your review)
I love your videos bro, they literally make me happy and I learn a lot thanks to you , thank you 🙏🏻
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.
I love the AI, it’s the clearest crisp sound I’ve had from a soundbar ever! And the up fire speakers do their job 📺 brilliantly. I bought the Bose in London from John Lewis as the store had excellent back up should any problems arise! And thank you for the review.
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.
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?
The Bose Voice Ai is EVERYTHING! I have never heard a sound system that has voices as loud and clear as the Bose Sounbar Ultra.
Additionally, I really like the casual not robotic discussion about speakers sound I find some focus too much on technical info (like rtings). NICE!!! 😂 Keep the good work coming. :-) Even if don’t intend to buy a new system, I STILL watch your reviews when they come out. :-)😊😊
Enjoy your day Andrew and Kristi. Hello from the UK.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching and the feedback!
LOVE the new intro! Very slick!
I got the jbl bar 1000 and yes it sounds very hollow. If I play music on it is not very good compared to my bose tv speaker. Good that I found your video I am returning the JBL here are my options bose smart ultra or sonos arc what you recommend specially for gaming (PS5,XBOX SERIES X).
Another great review.
When can we expect the Arc?
Fabulous job 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.
damn the AMBEO MAX aka Original, still being compared to this day! crazy! I have one and still love it to this day!
Thank you for all the reviews from both yourself and Christie! I'm bound to a hospital bed and live in a 18 x 18 room with an angle ceiling from 8 feet to about 12 feet. Not really into movies but definitely like my PlayStation 4 and music. Also like a boost in my dialogue and I enjoy deep bass. I'm shopping the Sonos ARC, the Bose Smart Ultra, and the Samsung 990c. 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?
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.
Hey Andew,
Can you please review the Chario Reflex Prima floorstanding speakers, as well as the rest of the "Reflex" line? Like the Chario Reflex Terza and Chario Reflex Doppia Center.
I can't find a review of them anywhere.
Thanks!
Had boses full system. I had a bad time unfortunately. The infamous popping sounds from surrounds, and could never get the system to update. Went full sonos and it has been great with era 300s
I love your reviews! I currently am still rocking a 1080p Samsung with a Denon receiver. I have a wall built in so space is an issue with soundbars. I am looking to move up to a 50" Samsung Neo QLED (largest I can go with the wall built in) and was considering doing alway with the old Denon and looking at soundbars. I would absolutely love to own the Samsung Q990C but again space is an issue with my built in only allowing for 44 inches wide for the space for the TV. I was then considering the Samsung HW-Q930C for its smaller size but that comes in at 43.7 inches and would probably make the sound on the sides just awful. I would prefer to have true Atmos & DTS-X sound. What would you recommend?
I know eq settings vary , would just love to see recommendations for a smaller room
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
Love this soundbar.
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.
Hi Andrew, how is compare with B&W Paranoma 3 that you reviewed. I like vocal clarity & hi treble note in orchestra string rather than bass that most soundbars are good in. I bought the Klipch 5 and regretted it.
I enjoyed listening to both of your opinions.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Andrew and Kristi thank for another excellent review. I am in the market for two slim sound bars, as I am just using the built in speakers on my LG OLED evo C3's, so I think this Bose bar might be the ticket.
Definitely worth a look. It's really, really good IMHO.
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.
Why the omission of HDMI inputs, and the processing of DTS codecs?
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!
"The Fall of The House of Usher" is great! Especially if you have an Atmos system.
Hi Andrew good morning can you tell me if sonos arc full system with dual gen3 sub & surround 300 better than a complete bose ultra setup
In a small to medium room would the Module 500 sub be beneficial to the Ultra?
Are the Bose subwoofers better than using a wired Klipsch sub? The Klipsch are cheaper and very good subs. My problem is I need to find a sub 14 inches tall or less to fit where I need to put it.
On paper and objective testing it is at par with sonos in whole system setup.. anyway it is good to give bose some time to get adjusted to their sound signature
I am in dilemma to choose between Q990C and Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar, which includes the bundle set. I am seeing good reviews on Samsung but nonetheless, Bose is a speaker company I feel in dileama for my given situation. Although Your video gives a lot of information about Bose and other soundbars, I like I want to know the latest reviews. Any Suggestions or Advice Irrespective of price and compatibility with Samsung Oled TV?
Thanks for the timely review! It’s seems this product was only announced last month. I immediately wondered if it was a worthwhile upgrade or to look for a previous generation 900 on sale (I’ve seen those marked down $200). As someone who frequently has trouble with dialog, I know which bar to buy after this review.
It's really good. We switched back to the ARC a couple of days ago and I'm struggling. :(
Can it be paired with bose 500 module ? I wonder how does thst work
Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theatre 77 va Bose 900 ? which is worth buying
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!
Great review, yet again. Side question... Have you guys been to the Sphere in Vegas? Any interest in experiencing it? Would love to hear your take on the entire setup. Thank you in advance. Vince RSA.
Not yet!
Sony HT A9 with SW-5 vs Nakamichi dragon ?
And does maximum wattage can Give us loud volume ??
Hi Andrew I really like you vids and I enjoy your wife’s input on speakers and surround sound
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for tuning in!
Great point on creator's intent! My sound needs have to be near to perfect as I hear it when things don't match and it is a point of contention in my head. The dialog AI sounds like a nice venture but as you two commented; maybe not yet. lol
I think AI is likely going to continue to evolve and enhance dialog as well as bring real-time adjustments to EQ or room correction based on where people are seated, which could be pretty awesome!
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?
Hey andrew is bose 700 bass module better than the vizio elevate sub
Selling my Sonos Beam, two rear surrounds and Roam speaker. I can’t deal anymore with the system not connecting. I have wasted hours of my life I will never get back troubleshooting. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Will give Bosee a try.
Any luck? Ive found serious frustration with my 600 i just got for my birthday and returned it. When turning on the tv, the speaker turned off and vice versa…then toss in the apple tv that also works on the same remote and theyre all out of sync. Ughhhh!!! So smart its dumb!!
Another great detailed review. i’m pleased with my bose 900 with 700 subwoofer. I was hoping that bose would update the rear surrounds or reduce the price as the MSRP is not worth it. If the ultra had a different design and more impressive audio then I’d probably upgrade. Agreed on the bose 600 for the bedroom, thats a great bar and good enough
Which setup would you use for gaming on a ps5 using a monitor at a computer desk anyone hear about Kef speakers
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.
It's honestly not too bad --at least not in our rooms or experience.
Hello, ty so much for your reviews as this has been an amazing journey for me. For a cheaper option, can the Sony ES7000 with Michi X3 Series 2 amp be a good alternative compared to Marantz AV10/Amp 10? These will be powering all Klipsch RP 2 line 7.2.6. I want that neutral/spatial sound/low volume but on the fence about which combo is better.
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.
Is it possible to connect a third party sub to this new bose soundbar?
How does the dialogue compare to the 990c?
Thanks! Fun review from you both!!🥰
Thanks for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews ❤️
Better then the Sennheiser Ambeo plus?
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
@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
@MahlerHolic1860 have u tried the sony ht a 7000 or bose ultra?
@shaq6772 Both are outside my budget at the moment. The Bose Smart Ultra looks excellent.
@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
What are the real big differences between a soundbar vs speakers for music, home cinema and gaming. And does it matter if you compare low end soundbar vs low and speakers, of in the medium and high end? Does the difference get bigger or smaller when going to low/high end? We all know that a speaker lags compared to soundbar when you talk about space efficiency. But where lags the soundbar compared to speakers in general? And why? So much quastions, we almost need a youtube video about it. XD
Why wasn’t the thumbnail for this video you wearing that head piece? Maaannn… think how many extra hits you’d get 😂
I’ve been to impressed with the BeoSound Stage. Sounds great and looks even better.
The Stage is a great soundbar.
Is Bose Utra soundbar better than Sonos beam gen 2?
Beosound A5 review coming out soon? Thanks
The 900 series soundbar works perfectly. No reason to spend another $900 for the AI feature IMO.
Hey this was a great video. Now I was confused whether I should buy the Bose seismic system (full kitted with subwoofers and surround speakers) OR Sonos sound bar with sub and surround speakers OR even the fully kitted Samsung OR Nakamichi Dragon fully kitted. Like which one would be the best choice (assuming size of room is not important). Can you plz help me with this ??
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.
Managed to snag the Q800C for £440, and I think it's probably just as good as this bar. And nearly half the price. I'd love to heard your thoughts on it, with it being a stripped down version of the Q990c without the rear speakers.
For someone with less space it makes much more sense than the 990C
Dude 800C is the exact same length as the 990C. Samsung bars have the best value, but to me they look ugly. especially theri subs. Their value is undeniable though.
As someone who enjoys listening to music and watching movies, looking to replace a ht receiver and floorstanding speakers for the convenience of just a soundbar (no sub or rears), would you recommend the Arc or the Bose Ultra?
Your comparison is made in the video.
Great review I'd consider this bar in the future just for the dialogue enhancement. I don't mind ai being involved in products as long as they allow for human correction.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on AI in home theater. Thank you!
Not even interestedin the product, just tuning in because i really enjoy y'all content.
Thank you all the same!
Have a question for you, andrew or kris. You have 3 choice of speaker bookshelf or floor speakers for movies and gaming, 3.1 setup number 1 choice 2 and 3.
Thor feedback and reviews are great, I love the two points of feedback which are not biased and one leading the other to the same point. Question, I was thinking to buy my soundbar after having a onkyo txnr696 with monitor audio speakers. I was looking at the LG S95QR. I have an lg 86 tv and wanted one ecosystem. Your review on this was brutal. I don’t think I ever seen a review about how horrible this is. Is it the case because it’s expensive vs others in same range. Is this because you are an audiophile. Will this be a good for me or is this rubbish?
Would you ever review the elipson heritage xls 15s?
I need Help!
For the bars lacking the 4k 2.1 pass through, can I just plug the PS5 and cable box and TV into the TV instead? Or will I lose a feature this way? Goal is to have a unified single remote that can control all vis CEC eARC as I hate two remotes and have my 2.1 4k full performance of the PS5 , TV etc
If 2.1 features are important for you then plugging them straight in to the TV is the better way to do it and just eArc the sound back to the bar from the TV. The Bose only has one HDMI so it’s your only option anyway.
So Andrew....it only has one HDMI where do I put my Amazon fire stick plug??????
Good Morning from Indiana! Hope you both have a good day.
Morning! Hope you have a good day as well!
Once again a pleasant Sunday morning Andrew and Kristi.
Thanks! Hope your weekend has been going well so far!
Hi Andrew. Please review the Polk Magnifi Max Ax SR if you have the opportunity. I'm planning to buy them but I would like to know your opinion first before going ahead with my purchase. Thanks and more power to you both.
We do have one but we have not listened to it yet.
@@KristiWrightThat's good to know. Maybe in the future. I'm looking forward to it. All the best. Cheers!
Can you please do the polk magnifi max ax sr
Well I dont think its same as Bose but I love what Yamaha receivers do with its surround Ai
What are the best levels to put center channel, height channel, bass and treble?
Depends on the level of volume. At low volumes I set Center-30, Height-0, Bass-30, Treble-10.
At mid to high volumes I set Center-20, Height-10, Bass-40, Treble-10
Great video, great voice, new sub.
Thanks guys for the review! Interesting to hear about the AI dialog.
It's very interesting to experience --especially when you toggle it on and off or compare it to other bars.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews Thanks for that tidbit. I'm hoping future bars/A9's have this feature.
Very nice review. Thanks Andrew. 👍
thanks for tuning in
Hey Andrew, I know you already mentioned the Sonos Arc but I was confused on your comparison between there surrounding quality. Which bar alone offers the more surround sound/Dolby atmos experience?
Absolutely 💯 SONOS ARC. I tried them in store . We had car with 12 BOSE speakers 🔊. So I do have picky ear 👂 s. SONOS arc is best . D others were somewhat quiet , flat here n there .
Great review!!!
Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching! Have a great day.
when is the full arc review coming out?
When it comes to a Bar with 2 rear speakers and a Sub, is the top Bose or Samsung 990C the best way to go???
My issue is getting 1 remote to control everything and having a TV and Bar that supports every feature like 2.1 pass through unless there is a workaround like plugging to TV and then to Bar?
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
Alright Andrew.. always here to support you.
And I thank you!
😁
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.
Will this soundbar connect to any bluetooth enabled sub or just the bose models? thanks
Just the bose models.
You should do a sound system setup bedroom style
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?????
Great review by the way!
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.
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
You can add the bass module 700. And if that’s still not enough bass, you can always add a second bass module
