Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker?

I am considering replacing the stock 5 AMP fuses in my Classe CAM 200 monoblocks with either boutique fuses OR high quality circuit breakers that fit where the fuse holder goes. Has anyone tried circuit breakers on their amplification?

I haven't, but the concern that should be considered is that the breaker may take much too long to trip to provide adequate protection.

Try magnets; that is what a friend of mine does. I suspect his favorite song is "There will be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

I agree, bad idea. Breakers take too long to trip.
