I installed my new OSB-1 this weekend and I'm very pleased, but probably for a different reason than most Outlaws. I no longer claim to be an audiophile because my hearing is missing a few frequencies. It's not bad enough for hearing aids but I do need to turn the TV up to hear the dialog clearly. My wife then complains that it's too loud. Anyway, the OSB-1 has resolved the problem. When I'm watching TV the OSB-1 SP mode (speech) raises the dialog level without the background noise being increased. Putting it in the 3 channel mode seems to help too. I can hear clearly and my wife is not asking, "can we turn it down?" Marriage saved! For music, the other modes sound pretty darn good too! Great product.
