Quantum Science Audio Thread

Leave it to oh so brave georgie to pick on a member who's been gone for over a year. Classless. 

But I can tell your Maggies will sound a touch better with just a piece of copper wire soldered lightly outside of the fuse clamps and no fuses. This makes them vulnerable to an amp blowing and going dc, as you know having electronic knowledge background, but no more so than any other speaker would have no dc protection either.

George, for once I actually agree with you. Bypassing speaker fuses can have clearly audible benefits. However manufacturer‘s warranties go out the window, and you are taking a gamble, especially if your amp is underpowered or remotely unstable.

I took the gamble and it was well worthwhile to me.

If you are an experienced audiophile with an intimate knowledge of your equipment‘s driving ability and volume capabilities. I would endorse the replacement of speaker fuses by a direct bypass rather than an audiophile fuse. Having owned many unfused speakers I am totally unconvinced of their necessity in the signal chain.

Never had a bypassed speaker fail. Just a whole lot better sound.

Are you serious!! where have you been, this statement proves you have absolutely no idea.

99.9% of good passive speakers are not fused for a reason, it has the same bad effects as putting fuses on an amps dc rail lines or it’s output terminal.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
