anyone familiar with the sansui six
I have a number of Sansui receivers, including a Six. It's a great sounding receiver. The sound is very nice, better than the Eight or Eight Deluxe, and better than tiny toy offerings like the Marantz 2015 (which I also have). They're rock-solid r...

Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
My daily driver is a '77 Lincoln Towncar w/a 460 4-BBL. My "fun" cars are a '67 Lincoln 2-dr. Coupe w/a 462, and a FiberFab MGTD kit with a 302 shoehorned into it. Oh, and of course, my '65 VW bus...hence the "Vdub" handle... 
Fuse or braker for dedicated lines?
All I know is that my refrigerator seems colder and my lights brighter when I use ceramic fuses. Oh, and my computer seems faster and toast pops up higher as well. I'm a believer. 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Stones- Bridges to Babylon tour at Soldier Field in Chicago, a few years ago. So good I went twice. And Bob Dylan, half a dozen times over the years. Pick any three and you have your five! 
Fuse or braker for dedicated lines?
I would try the fuse thing if I could only get the damn pennies out of my fusebox...(just kidding). 
Anyone have this happen to them?
I'm all for the humidifier solution. Not only will it minimize static discharges, but it will help preserve your speaker cabinets, your furniture, any and all paper and cloth products in your home, but your health as well. If you don't run a humid... 
Where do you sit?
Well, I'll consider the beanbag thing. I do have a barber chair, though. I suppose it would make a good listening chair, but it's way the heck too heavy to lug into the living room. I guess I'll continue sitting on the overstuffed loveseat and str... 
Is it true Genesis is out of business?
Frank, you've completely missed the point of my comments. I don't have a problem with most foreign-made products, nor do I have a problem with products specifically made in Japan. I have a problem with products made in China, and American companie... 
Where do you sit?
I haven't sat in a beanbag chair in years, but aren't they kind of noisy if you shift around? Seems it would be distracting. Besides, I think I'm too tall to sit in a beanbag these days... 
Odd shaped speakers
I think a good Polish ham sounds as good, if not better, than Bose 901's. 
Is it true Genesis is out of business?
If it's true that they'll keep producing Genesis parts and speakers in China, hell will freeze before this American ever owns a new Genesis product. Great sounding speakers or not, I won't give a dime of my money voluntarily to murderous communist... 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Do Bose speakers sound better if you freeze them? 
If there was Nobel prize in audio...
Why, Doctor Bose, of course. How could you exclude him? Without him, no 901s, no WaveRadio,no...Wait, did you say "Nobel Prize Nominee" or "Great Satan"? Sorry, disregard my nomination... 
Do you drink when you listen?
Only when forced to listen to someone's Bose system...
