Magnepan exhibits the speaker they make - so obviously it was fused. I quite happily live with this - but I know that, if I bought some 30.7s, I could make them sound better simply by:
* removing the fuses & (more importantly the) fuse holders.
* replacing the terrible Magnepan speaker terminals with decent ones (unless they've finally stopped using those steel ones, with the 30.7).

Methinks it's a pleasant pastime. (However, please keep your mitts off my speakers :-).

  Not asking to touch only do some friendly listening.

    I think you know that I was only joking, and alluding to fact that many our fellow inmates have 'itchy' fingers, but listen away!

      When I used my Marchand X-O I was able to adjust both HI and LOW levels using its controls. I don't know if 'purists' are in favor using such adjustments. (Resistors about which Mr. Diller speaks come packaged along with (all?) new Maggies.) Magnepan's parts department most likely would be happy to send you a package containing resistors of various values at no cost to you. I have used these resistors (as well as the original jumpers/speaker wire) fastened into banana plugs thereby permitting me to quickly insert/remove them from the speaker jacks to compare their effect.

      I talked with Wendell at Magnepan yesterday, he thought the amp and speakers were fine and that I should try 2 ohm resistors in the tweeters and maybe add some difussers behind the speakers. (I just hope I don't lose all my high end with higher value resistors)
