When it come toNakamichi ’s DragonDolby Atmos soundbar , hyperbole just comes with the territory . After all , massive operation is what you should expect from a $ 3,900 , 3,000 - watt , 11.4.6 - channel monster of a intelligent system . But apparently , we ai n’t experience ( or heard ) nothing yet : the company has just announced a new 12 - inch , 750 - wattsubwooferfor the Dragon , which can be added as an upgrade to live systems for $ 1,500 , or you could order the Dragon with up to four of these monumental cubes for a grand sum of $ 8,500 . That gets you 5,000 total system watts , by the elbow room .
Nakamichi says it modernize the new 12 - inch sub as a direct answer to customer feedback . Its sketch of proprietor and “ fans ” revealed that 41 % of the respondent require three or more subs , and that 67 % of them think those Cuban sandwich should have a 12 - in or cock-a-hoop driver .
“ Dragon owners crave bass voice intensity that correspond the benchmarks set by dedicated high - end dwelling house dramatic art setup , ” suppose Nakamichi USA CEO Rayman Cheng in a press release . “ This fire our conclusion to develop a 12 - inch subwoofer that would push Dragon beyond the perceive limitations of sparking plug - and - diddle home entertainment . ”
With 750 James Watt of baron , a front - firing , 12 - in , carbon - reinforced aluminium number one wood , and a down - fire 12 - inch peaceful carbon copy - infused bass radiator , Nakamichi is promising bowel - melt performance from this 80 - pound beast : “ Our 12 - inch subwoofer does n’t just emit bass — it release cataclysmic rumbles with thundering subsonic zip , unlocking a fresh dimension to your preferent subject . ”
Does it make sense to upgrade an already massively powerful scheme with even bigger , more potent zep ? afford thatour reviewerfeels that the existing Dragon leans heavily on the standard treble 8 - column inch grinder — even for frequency you might not commonly send to a subwoofer — it ’s entirely possible the new 12 - in unit of measurement will have a bigger force on overall effectual tone than they might if you were upgrading a conventional , AV receiver - establish home base dramaturgy organization .
Still , it ’s frightening to recollect about the form of low - remnant business leader that four of these new sub could generate . A standard Dragon organisation can already regurgitate a claim 20Hz-40kHz , but the 12 - in wedge apparently cast the low - end down to 19Hz — well into the range of mountains of frequencies that are feel , not get word .
If you ’ve go the coin , the space , and a few miles between you and your near neighbor , Nakamichi starts take orders for the new system and disjoined poor boy later this month .
