I am going to assume that the Dahlquist's tweeter would be damaged by a load greater than .8 amps, and therefore needed to add this protection that would not be covered by the main 3 amp fuse. If they used a .8 amp fuse as a single main fuse, the thing would pop every time you played it at even a reasonable listening level, or less. .... |
That's what i said from the beginning.....

Anyway, speaker fuses aren't very common and i agree that's a very subjective issue. Nevertheless, i think i can understand why John Dahlquist choose to put some fuse protection on this speakers. Maybe because like Magnepans these are not an easy speaker to drive, and like you said - and i concur - the choice of a good amplifier in this kind of speakers are the main importance here.
