@bdp24 - Very interesting option, would you mind posting some photos of your mod?
Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7?
Hey everyone,
I recently acquired some Magnepan 3.7 speakers and wanted to start tweaking them, so I ordered some Mundorf M-Resist Supreme 1.0 ohm Resistors for $23 each, but I can't seem to find any hifi fuses that are reasonable priced. Seems like hifi fuses start around $100 each, I need 4 fuses, and I don't want to spend $400 on a whim. Can anyone recommend some fuse upgrades that are reasonably priced, maybe around $20 each?
Looks like I need two 2.5A fuses and two 5A fuses, large size. I'd prefer not to bypass the fuses, so let's not get into that debate here... =)
Thanks!
Chris

@cjwessing, I would be happy to, but haven’t yet replaced the digital camera that some low-life stole out of my car. And I’m one of those Luddites that still doesn’t have a smart phone, still using a flip phone! But there are pics of what you want to see in postings on the Planar Speaker Asylum. That’s where I learned of the ferrous parts, and installing Cardas binding posts (which I had already done on my power amps). |
No Need to worry about removing the fuses altogether which is what Ive vetted as safe. If you would like to see my videos of the Maggies at over 90Db with ribbon safe and sound feel free to check out the videos here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiOmwLhAObKBHYlTfMAtHTw?sub_confirmation=1 |
cjwessing If getting these, get ones that have a 30 day return, try them out, and compare them to good quality $2 industry fuses from here. https://www.digikey.com/products/en/circuit-protection/fuses/139?k=Glass%20Fuses Better still, put some copper wire in place of your fuse and don't overdrive your speaker, many speakers (even planers and ESL's) don't have fuses.
