Our Verdict

Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2Ch

Samsung HW-Q950T

The Samsung HW-Q950T is better than the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2Ch. The Samsung is a 9.1.4 setup with a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box that also reproduces a more extended low-bass. It gets louder with less compression at max volume. Unlike the Nakamichi, it has a graphic EQ for sound customization and built-in voice assistant support. That said, the 9.2.4 Nakamichi is better built with a better Atmos performance. Some users may also prefer its unique design with two subs and four satellites.
