Magnepan MG1.7 fuse question

And you're doing this because Magnepan doesn't know what they're doing when they spec the fuses for their speakers? Spend your money on better source matl., it will pay off much more handsomely...

5560, I found upgrading fuses on my 3.7's from stock to Audio Magic LA fuses was well worth it. I can't tell you what amperage the 1.7 uses. I would wait until you get the speakers at which point you will be able to tell what amperage to replace them with. They will be fast blo fuses. I also found getting rid of those nasty stock jumpers to be very worthwile. Both of these tweeks resulted in an immediately noticable reduction in grain.

I stuck four aftermarket fuses in my new Magnepan 3.6s I got two years ago.
They are the only aftermarket fuses i would bother with, since they are in the signal.
I am dreaming of going to 20.7 or i would just remove the fuse on the midrange panel of my 3.6s.
I agree just wait until you have the speakers..
Then by the time you get the aftermaarket fuses, the new 1.7s will be broken in better..
My 3.6s took half a year to really break in.

This is from the 1.7 manual:

The terminal plate states a maximum fuse value of 4 amps Type 3AG ("normal" or "fast blow"). The bass section
does not require fusing protection. This fuse value should never be increased or bypassed. Do not use slow-blow
fuses. BURNED OUT TWEETERS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
