Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers


I have a new pair of Magnepan .7 speakers and have heard that the fuses in them are low quality and that I can actualy improve the performance of the speakers by replaing the fuses.

has anyone had experience with replacing fuses on there maggies?

Easist wasy to decide if YOU can benefit from better fuses:
Take a piece of copper wire about the same length as the fuse (3cm)
Best to use a heavy wire, at least 18 gauge..
(even lampcord will do just fine)

Bare the ends and place next to/into fuse holder as you snap the fuse back in place, get the wire caught by one side of the fuseholder and the fuse so the wire is held in place by the fuse.
Now you have fully bypassed the fuse entirely.
Play music at your usual levels. (but not really loud, so you do not blow your panels.)


Dose it sound any better or different?
If yes, then buy some aftermarket fuses. (but take out the wire, so your speaker will be safe.
((But if you are adventurous and fearless, just leave the wire in place. I did for years on my 3.6 ... Never a problem))
If no difference in the sound from fuse to added wire, take out the wire and be happy with the stock fuse.
The post above I asked to be removed. the fuse is 20mm NOT the required 30mm and I DO apologize for the error.A correct length 5A from Amazon is: https://www.amazon.com/Pack-125v-Ceramic-Fuses-6x30mm/dp/B009FAL7P8/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1539...
