Bit of a Let-Down
Got the TV home. It looks great... But there's a gawdawful buzzing from the cooling fans.
Been on the phone with V Inc. once already - it's a "problem they've become aware of" and they're working on a resolution. The support guy asked that I not return the unit, and wait for them to provide a fix - hopefully in the next 14 days. I figure with Costco's return policy, there's little harm in giving them a week or two to see if they can sort it out.
Did some checking on avsforum, and it seems to be a luck of the draw sort of thing - a few people have noisy units, and other's claim they're whisper quiet.
If the unit was quiet, I'd be pretty happy with it - but if they can't sort out the noise, it's going back. I could be convinced to give it another shot (swap units), but only once - getting that thing down the stairs was a pain, getting it back up is going to be worse.

Obviously you need more powerful speakers. Just crank up the volume, and you'll never hear those wimpy fans.
