RE: This topic is very confusing

The reason there's differing opinions is because there's differing opinions. Sorry about that, but this is not an uncomplicated black/white issue. :)

The primary (I think everybody agrees with this) issue is the suitability/safety of the ribbon tweeter if connected directly to an amplifier.

The priority is as follows:

1. Use an amplifier that is extremely well behaved at turn on/off and exhibits no DC offset.
2. Make sure devices upstream of the amplifier make no transients that might pass through the amplifier on power failures.
3. Protection capacitor. (distant third.)
4. Protection device like a fuse. (extremely distant fourth.)

If you're not comfortable with any of this, I would suggest to leave the internal crossover in place and bi-amp instead.
