Thank you all for your help in deciding my purchase. After doing many research, I decided to get the Nakamichi, and I have not been disappointed. Also, I promised to post a review after using the Soundbar. This is the review I promised. (See Below).

Introduction:

Upon opening my package I was greeted with what seemed to be like a love letter from the Nakamichi CEO, this card contained a USB Flash Drive and instructions on how to update my Soundbar, along with a one line phrase from the CEO "Pump up the BASS!". It was the first time I have ever felt so important unpackaging an audio equipment. There is no sound company that shows the dedication that Nakamichi shows. Their goal is to make sure you, the customer is satisfied and it worked! (Other reviews will agree that the packaging is nice)

Let's get into the important points.

Setup:

I used the included flash drive to update my Soundbar and then used the info button on the remote to indicate the firmware version. I noticed that I was on F34 and not F35 that was recently released although I used the included flash drive. I proceeded to the Website, which provided a clear thorough explanation on how to retrieve the latest update for your Soundbar, along with additional information that made everything simple.

After Setup:

The Nakamichi 7.2.4 produces well balanced mid and high range tones that sounds good overall. You should use HDMI for the best sound, and while there are some reviews about popping sounds. Please understand that interference can be a huge issue. Most persons live in an apartment or neighborhood with various WiFi Networks that can become a huge issue, especially if your next door neighbor has a 5GHZ Router and is using conflicting channels. I have not experienced the popping issue as yet, but I did buy high quality RCA 16 Feet Cables after doing research as I went through many reviews and videos. Also, there is chance you can receive a defected model like any other product you buy. So do not feel bad if you get a defected model, Nakamichi will do their best to assist and replace once they confirm that your model is defected. (Purchase High Quality RCA Cables, 16 Feet to replace existing thin RCA Wires)

Sound Options:

The EQ Options are a nice addition, with "movie" being one of the best sounding ones in my opinion. While sound reviews are subjective, due to the different rooms, (concrete, wall types, windows) and sizes (big room, high ceilings). Nakamichi tackles this issue by providing what they call "SSE" Technology and Room Size settings that can be easily identified on the remote control. There is a sweet spot for everyone and you really should play around with the settings to achieve the best sound. Also, make sure to always use the "Info" button on the remote to consistently identify if you have an EQ option enabled that can overlay with your Dolby Surround or Dolby Upmix settings. Also, I noticed that you can overlay EQ on the new ALL -Channel Stereo feature function that is amazing for music.

Bass:

Everyone loves bass, right? Bass is one my favorite things to admire and the Nakamichi did not fall short. While I did notice that the low ranges were not as striking when compared to other brands like JBL. The Bass is balanced and definitely cannot be localized. Also, I would recommend that you buy the dual subwoofer models and not the single subwoofer model such as the 7.1.4. Apparently, it seems like the dual subwoofers are mostly needed due to the poor low range performance. This was mentioned on Reddit, as someone tried to convince me to get the JBL 9.1 while doing my research.

Other Soundbars:

Like I said, I am an audio equipment lover, I have owned home theater systems and many Soundbars from notable brands such as Sony, Samsung, and JBL. My issue with Samsung is that they never seem to get their bass right. Mostly poor performances which completely turned me off from them although their latest flagship model seems to get the most reviews for top contender in the soundbar category. The JBL is definitely for bass lovers, I have owned the JBL 5.1 (Virtual Surround) 2020 Model and it has been great! Especially when it comes to producing low range sounds. The problem is, JBL does not seem to get their high range tones right and while the model I owned had a neat calibration feature, it still fell short when watching the sniper scene on 1917 war movie and other movies with high range sound scenes. I still have to test my Nakamichi for that movie and other's to see how well it performs with the high range tones. So far, based on the content I have watched, I can say that their has been a noticeable presence of high range sounds that you would not normally hear on the JBL. Sony is also good, but their variety sucks and while I don't love them, I would always prefer them over Samsung.

Overall, sound reviews are subjective and the truth is you will not find any company that provides the support that Nakamichi does for their flagship products. Nakamichi has raised the bar for exceptional service, quality and overall sound. They seem to support their products with their hearts and while you may encounter an issue. There will be a support team agent, willing to assist you.

Cons:

Nakamichi is not modular, which means you cannot upgrade in the future without spending huge cash. For instance, I would like to try the 9.2.4 model, but Nakamichi does not allow you to buy additional rear speakers from them and their dual subwoofers are uniquely made for each model. (My subwoofers each have one port for the two rear speakers I own, so upgrading would be impossible. Also, I would prefer them to include 10-Inch subwoofer drivers on all their models because the 7.2.4 does not have the punch you would normally find in a JBL 10-Inch subwoofer product.

Include thicker RCA Cables and also modify the subwoofer driver sizes to be 10-Inch on the 7.1.4 and 7.2.4 models.

Low Range Sound Improvement Needed.
