Yes on all counts.
It is detrimental to sound
It is ferrous
Play without then install and play with it in line and decide for yourself on the sound vs. safety equation.
You need quite a hefty tube amp for the mid/tweet section. 4 X KT88 per side and can squeeze by on 2X KT150 or 2X 845 class AB. That unless you play sotto voce

Thanks guys. It surprises me that no one has come out with a copper (or at least brass) fuse holder. There is a guy offering a Maggie "upgrade" kit on Audiogon, which includes a little solid copper (I believe) rod to replace the fuse---when the problem is not the fuse itself, but rather it's holder!Yup Satie, I have a Music Reference RM-200 MK.2 to try with the m/t drivers. It puts out over 100w/ch (and 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 2 ohm, and even 1 ohm speaker taps!), which should work in my small room. If not, I have a couple of pretty good ss amps (PS Audio, Electron Kinetics---old, but so are the speakers ;-) that will.

You can find copper base metal fuse holders at Mouser. This is what I use with the Stax speakers and retrofitted my ARC REF300 with this type of fuse holder for each output tube. Minimal sonic impact.
Thanks Kent, I'll look into Mouser.
...best to eliminate both fuse and holder.
