Great receiver!  The Sansui does a credible synthetic quad surround sound, so I would go with four loudspeakers.  I think you should consider some vintage Klipsch loudspeakers, the KG4, Forte or even the Heresy.  Good luck! 
Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests
Do the discussions devolve or do they evolve? 
Best path to upgrading older system: Thiel, Adcom, CAL Audio Lab, Thornes....
Get an integrated with a built in D/A.  There are many options. 
Mini-Rant: Human Fingers
Unless someone is in some way physically disabled, I just can't take the "problem" seriously.  Is this an elaborate joke? 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
One of the basic elements of music is tonality.  Why audiophiles are so reluctant to directly alter tone is a mystery to me.  I imagine if someone had a perfect room and their loudspeakers perfectly interacted with that perfect room, then perfectl... 
What to do with my old equipment being replaced?
Depending on where you live, Craigslist is an excellent way to sell older equipment.

Esoteric A100 Service Nightmare
I'm gonna' sound completely unsympathetic, but this thread sounds a little like someone complaining about the upkeep costs on their mega-buck Ferrari.  Every review I came across described the A100 as the most complex KT88 amplifier ever made.  Th...

Low Volume Listening - XLR Cables ??
The concept that a cable has an optimized volume level is somewhat strange to me.  Are you suggesting that a cable can mimic the Fletcher-Munson curves? 
DeoxIT on tube pins
As stated in a post above, just plug in/out a few times.  The risk/reward of contact cleaners isn't worth any potential sonic improvement. 
VPI 40th Anniversary Table After Warranty Support Question
Hi fellow forum members!  As a thought experiment I just want to make anybody currently considering buying a VPI turntable to stop and have a panic attack.  There is the possibility that five years from now you may regret your decision.  Twenty ye... 
How much difference does an anti-vibration audio rack make
The rack you are considering looks fabulous.  It appears to have some serious engineering behind it.  I say go for it.  Start with your preamp and source component.  If I understand the modular design aspect, you can expand to include other parts ... 
Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ?
You're not wrong, but what's your point?  Knowing how many class A watts an amp can provide is useful info. 
The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing
In the Stereophile 2nd opinion review the reviewer specifically mentions that the Border Patrol sounds like the Benchmark, but with a vintage tube compressor inserted.  It's not surprising that listeners would like the resulting sound.  It's a fle...
