Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 SSE
Nakamichi DRAGON (With Dual-Opposing 8" Subs)
The Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 SSE is a pared-down offering compared to the Nakamichi DRAGON (With Dual-Opposing 8" Subs). The Shockwafe features a plastic design, unlike the DRAGON's metal construction. Though it packs a similarly bass-heavy sound into a much more compact frame, it does fall short of the DRAGON in a few key areas, including default frequency response, center performance, and dynamics. The DRAGON also features HDMI 2.1 with 4k passthrough at 120Hz, and its three HDMI In ports make it a great option for gamers with multiple consoles. That said, the DRAGON's high retail price will deter many.
