Fuse Value for Heil ESS Tweeter ..AMT Tower Mods

Hi Folks!

Any suggestions on the maximum wattage the ESS tweeters on the AMT Towers should see. I just purchased this pair from my tech and they sound quite nice. Of course I'll have to make "improvements" .

These have had the crossover bypassed w/ caps and Vifa woofers installed too. I'm going to replace the two mediocre 2.2 uf caps with a Mundorf 4.7uf cap and want to also replace the fuses installed to protect the heil tweeters. They are currently 2 amp fast blo but I want to use silver fuses like the Acme or Hi-Fi Tuning fuses to minimize the effect of this protective (if waranted) measure. Anybody know if the Acme silver ceramic fuses are as good as the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses (which are 3x the price)?

My main question though is to ascertain the max wattage the tweeters should see so I can figure out a good fuse value (it may in fact be 2A). I'm using these with a highly modded and babied Marantz 2270.

Many thanks in advance.
