Nakamichi, which has been making mid- to high-end audio gear for a very long time has its premium line of soundbar products nowadays. We already covered its Dragon 11.4.6 channel systems recently which are currently on sale for their lowest ever prices. Depending on the variant you go for, you can get one for as low as $2500 and up to $6500.
Meanwhile if your budget is tighter, then the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 is currently back to its lowest ever price of $1277 (purchase link under the specs table below).
The Ultra 9.2.4 comes with dual downfiring 10-inch subwoofers. The benefit of having more than one subwoofer is the fact that the bass nulls (places in the room where the bass may sound low or absent) are greatly reduced. Having even more subwoofers are definitely better but two of them can certainly serve the purpose better than one. Hence, the bass response would definitely feel much more uniform throughout the listening space and subwoofer placement becomes much less critical.
The unit features Nakamichi"s own SSE engine technology which helps produce spatial surround sound. If you are wondering, SSE stands for Spatial, Surround, Elevation.
