Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers

So much about this subject already.     @roberjerman. You are still at it I see. In some of my rigs, I have bypassed the fuses, and it made quite a difference. In other parts of my rigs, I have upgraded my fuses, and it has made a difference. I mentioned in another post, that three things are happening ( with you and a few others ). ( 1 ) Your system in not high def enough to hear these differences. ( 2 ) You have never tried bypassing or upgrading a fuse. ( 3 ) Your hearing is the issue. No one has indicated it has changed the tone. What I can tell you is, I hear more of the recorded information. So stop being a troll, and let the adults chime in, or continue, if you wish, as , I don’t really care what you have to say. Enjoy ! MrD.

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.

What the saying about there is one born every second!!!
Boy that's the truth. Spend your cash on music

Hardcore Maggie enthusiasts on the Planar Speaker Asylum Forum discuss bypassing the entire fuse assembly in their Maggies. Some of the parts are ferrous! Even if you change the fuse, those parts are still compromising the ultimate potential of the speaker. 

I’m having difficulty finding a relatively inexpensive (under $50US) large 5A fast blow audiophile fuse to replace the mid-range fuse. Some of the suggestions above seem to be for slow blow fuses. Thanks in advance. I’ve 3.6Rs and a Bryston amp.
