I had a pair of VTL MB250 monoblock amps. I was listening late one night and dozed off after the music had stopped. When I awoke, I saw a shower of sparks coming from the back of one of the amps like a rooster tail, straight up in the air. It looked as if someone had lit a 4th of July fireworks display cone. Bewilderment quickly became sensibility and I plucked the cord from the wall. All that was left of the B+ fuse holder was a charred cinder. A friend said the breakover voltage of the fuse holder had been exceeded.
VTL was absolutely great in handling this-no charge. When the amps came back they had the new-style, large fuse holders that you now see used on the VTL amps.
