I'd strongly advise against being tempted by Free Shipping on any electronics or loudspeakers in this weight and price level.

The 151FD has a shipping weight of 168 lbs. Free ground shipping is - depending on origination point & delivery address - and endless series of hub-to-hub-to-hub-to Out For Delivery transfers. Each one of those points involves moving that box from point A to B.

Come to think of it, I doubt UPS can do a 168 lb single box weighing as much as or more than a refrigerator.

At this *very upper end price point, I'd just be thankful for saving sales tax and go for White Glove delivery and not try to scalp the last $100-200 on the deal. I'm shopping for a 37" LCD and believe me, that will be 2-day delivery; at worst The less "ground" involved, the better.
