SoundSpace Stereo System

Art & music united in stunning aesthetics; a powerful sound system housed in simplicity.

• 3-disc CD changer, AM/FM stereo
• 2 satellite speakers + subwoofer
• Equivalent music power of 160 watts
• Expandable control center; 2 remotes

The SoundSpace 9 is the most cunningly designed stereo system we’ve seen in a long time: Nakamichi combined a truly artistic, sleek appearance with powerful delivery of sound, offering a system that unites art with music in an arresting aesthetic experience.

A diamond logo permeates the system, from the shape of the main control unit, a cluster of four units housing three integrated CD players, an AM/FM tuner and system controls, to the diamond-logo satellite speakers. Each CD player is independent, but together they form an unusual three-disc changer with continuous playback and uninterrupted disc-to-disc transition. Subtly transparent front panels on each player let you check disc titles at a glance and the players are fully programmable, both individually and as an ensemble.

In the cabinet, a robust 20-cm driver and three channels of amplification offer surprisingly powerful and well-modulated sound. A mono amplifier feeds the subwoofer, a two-channel amplifier drives the satellites, and each amp has exceptional headroom; together they provide an equivalent music power of 160 watts. The subwoofer cabinet is a bass-reflex design precisely tuned to ensure high efficiency and excellent bass extension. Each satellite uses three drivers in a two-way sealed-box configuration. Twin 8-cm bass/midrange cones ensure a natural, well-defined midrange with controlled dispersion while a 2.5-cm soft-dome tweeter smoothly extends the treble beyond the range of human hearing.

The SoundSpace 9 is not just beautiful and powerful, it’s also flexible. The main panel and satellite speakers can either be mounted on a wall or, using the small stands provided with the system, displayed on a table. If you’d like, you can upgrade to stylish floor stands that better allow you to integrate the SoundSpace 9 with the design of your home. The system also provides three multi-zone modes that permit different programs to be sent to different rooms at the same time. A full-function and a compact simple remote control are included, and the system is fully expandable. $3,500.00.
