Our Verdict

Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2Ch

Samsung HW-Q800A

The Samsung HW-Q800A and the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2Ch are both premium soundbars. The Samsung is a 3.1.2 setup with more wireless playback options. It can reproduce more bass out-of-the-box, which is handy for listeners who want to plug-and-play. However, the Nakamichi has a unique setup with two subs and four satellites. It offers better surround and Atmos performances, too.
