Our Verdict

Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC

LG Immersive Quad Suite 7 Pro

The Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC and LG Immersive Quad Suite 7 Pro both have four discrete satellites. That said, the Nakamichi features an additional subwoofer, which can mitigate in-room bass frequency inconsistencies. It also has better connectivity options featuring both HDMI In and eARC options, while the LG only provides the latter. Still, the LG has a more balanced sound output across channels and a significantly wider stereo soundstage with its satellites that still sounds natural despite the system up-mixing stereo content.
