Nakamichi DRAGON (With Dual-Opposing 8" Subs)
Samsung HW-Q990D
The Samsung HW-Q990D is a better value soundbar than the Nakamichi DRAGON (With Dual-Opposing 8" Subs). It has a more balanced default frequency response, more flexible sound customization options, and better wireless connectivity. The two are neck-and-neck in other facets of the sound, such as center-channel performance and dynamics, though the Nakamichi offers a wider, more immersive soundstage. Those who value extremely high-end features, like DTS:X Pro compatibility, three HDMI In ports, and the ability to add up to four subs, might be able to justify the additional outlay for the Nakamichi. For most users, the Samsung soundbar's excellent Atmos performance and extremely accurate sound will be more than enough.
