We'll have to agree to disagree about human caused global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along.

90 lb net weight loudspeakers, from Canada to CA USA via UPS ground; detoured through Customs in TN.

I'll never, ever forget the 2 gouge marks on the front deck where the boxes were dragged to the front door and dropped. Results were: mid and tweeter dust caps inverted as tho' someone jambed a thumb on them. Wiring to one woofer broken off. (*Always pull the drivers on new speakers for a wiring check!)

Point being, it's not about getting new toys as fast as possible, but about minimal handling. I tried (and missed) being on-site for delivery, having to take time off work. Be there no matter what to assist and observe.

I would surely like the delvery guys to be around for an upack and functional check of a $6k item, but I doubt that could happen. At the very least, be there for a visual of the packaging for corner crushes or punctures. As usual, it's what they call "hidden damage" that is the killer. (30%+ according to my appliance vendor in re: a Maytag refrigerator I ordered locally...)

The faster the delivery, the less time spent on piggy-back railcars and conveyor belt transfers, and the more time spent on an airplane going from airport A to airport B.

  This retailer has a seemingly great return policy along with some good recommendations from the AVS site. Even so I'm just a wee bit skeptical and still talking myself into it. I'll be home for the delivery.
  
  Thanks for your input.
