Our Verdict

Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 SSE

Sony HT-A7000 with Speakers + Bass Module

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Sony HT-A7000 with Speakers + Bass Module or the Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1 SSE. The Sony is a better-built setup with eARC support. It has more sound enhancement features like room correction and a more neutral sound out-of-the-box. The Nakamichi gets louder, though, with less compression at max volume. It also has better surround and Atmos performances.
