In Reply to: RE: Difference Between Magnepan Ribbon Tweeters: Mg 20.7 vs 3.6 posted by Davey on April 12, 2015 at 06:39:58:
We have discussed this before and I think it is "safe" to conclude that a fuse will not protect a tweeter and a polyswitch is a better solution. However, I am wondering if the tweeter blew not because of high current but rather because of extreme excursion. In other words, did the ribbon rip apart or did it melt. I suspect it ripped and, if so, then a polyswitch may not help either. Perhaps a close look at the tweeter will reveal signs of melting or signs of a rip.
Since most tweeters fail because of clipping, the best approach IMO is go to a line-level XO (biamp) since this isolates the tweeter from the clipping amp (much more likely to be the bass amp than the tweeter amp). Again however if the tweeter ripped because of large excursion, then this approach will not work either.
