I have been using this for about a week and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to listen to the TV speakers on a flat screen.
We replaced our Entertainment center and aging rear projection LCD TV with a wall mounted 60".
The "console that we liked is only 16" deep, so the 990 and 7075 had to go along with the Sony CX777ES 400 disc dvd changer.

To simplify things I decided to use the OSB-1 with my LFM1-EX. It's not 5.1 Surround sound but it sounds good. I don't know how it works but you can hear sounds from both sides and the back!

I don't think that anyone will be dissapointed in the sound of the OSB--1, regular tv viewing and music sounds great with 3ch.


I am (was) thinking of ordering one for the bedroom until Outlaw announced the 975....

I was clicking around and came across this guy's site -- http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-home-theater-in-a-box-does-not-exist/

I would so love for a rebel Outlaw to do a "shoot out" with the OSB vs the notorious http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/yamaha-ysp-2200/ and for real humilation even throw in this flop -- http://articles.courant.com/2012-07-06/b...-blu-ray-player


I missed this a while back, and as much as I've been impressed by powered speakers from Audioengine I know the OSB will utterly annihilate any comers http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57551015-47/before-you-buy-a-sound-bar-speaker-read-this/

In regards to the soundbar phase and whether small surrounds with a sub sound better for about the same $$$ I am going to blaspheme. Several years back I set up my bedroom TV with a computer speaker system including an 6 inch subwoofer and 4 very small speakers. For free it sounds pretty good but the TV has no surround capability to really stress it out. The dialog is pretty good but I don't really have a center channel.
