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?

My experience most Audio Stores don’t push tweaks too much or have a lot of experience with them, so good luck there. I’ve also found many manufacturers haven’t tried them or feel they didn’t make a difference but I found on my gear they did; I think they just want to stay out of the debate.

I’m from the camp fuses do make an improvement and run SR Blacks. Bought mine from VH Audio with the free trial period so no risk.

Being a former Magnepan owner and having blown a few fuses myself on them it could be a costly thing if you blow them here and there. I’d suggest if you try them to bump them up a bit but be careful. Are the stock fuses Fast Blow, if so maybe Slow Blow would be the way to go. I don’t recall what the stock ones are.
@grekon39- ".....there are definitely two sides of the fence on this one." One could certainly say that! If you haven’t perused the offerings/opinions, in the following threads, you might be interested. Don’t know how many responses are based on speaker fuses, though I noticed a couple, in the second thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-new-synergistic-research-blue-fuses and(back a tiny bit farther): https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/synergistic-red-fuse
I have had both MMGs and MG12s (now called .7).
I reconnected them to by-pass the fuse.
The difference in transparency and clarity is obvious.
If you trust your amp and run it well below its capabilities, just by-pass.
I have had MMGs driven by a qsc pro-amp at absurd SPLs for 15-20 minutes at a time and never had a problem.
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.
