The BIG one.

[YamahaFreak]

I am in the process of attempting to buy the largest, heaviest CRT set I have yet owned--the monolithic Sony Trinitron KV-40XBR800. There are several things I'd like to know beforehand, if anyone here has owned this set.

1.) Weight. This set must weigh nearly 300 pounds, so I'm currently brainstorming how to even move it from its current owner's house! What would be an ideal method to safely move a set this bulky and heavy?

2.) Problems. Are there any inherent technical problems that this set could develop in the future that I need to be aware of? The seller states that it currently works perfect, but I want to know what, if anything, might happen somewhere on down the line.

3.) Quality. As if I even need to ask about this, but I wonder primarily in comparison to two groups: other Trinitron sets and other jumbo-CRT sets. I have been told numerous times that the 40XBR800 has the best picture of any set its size, even including comparable flat panels and rear projectors. Also, the sound quality; is the built-in subwoofer noticeable, or does it not add much to the depth of the sound?

The deal on this TV has not closed yet; there is even a chance that it has already sold. Hopefully I will score this one after just missing out on the equivalent 36-inch set.
