Some more thoughts on fuses.

Despite popular opinion, standard fuses offer no protection for speakers and there are several reports on this forum of the ribbon tweeter successfully saving a fuse from certain death. BTW, the ribbon tweeter costs about $100 which is almost the same as those high-end fuses.
Here is an article by Rod Elliott and why fuses are not protective. You may not want to read the whole thing but drop down to item #10 for a quick explanation.
