Magnepan MG3.6rs and tweeter fuse blowin


I'm having trouble with my Magnepans. I keep blowing tweeter fuses. I've used a variety of amplifiers (Classe Cam 350, Bryston 4B St, and biamped Acoustats TNT 200s and on certain CDs like The Eagles When Hell Freezes Over Hotel California, the applause blows the tweeter fuses. I've even had to replace a ribbon tweeter. Does anyone know the cause or cure? Is this a design flaw? Just when everything is sounding great and the volume is just right where you want it, out go the tweeter fuses. Magnepan advizes that this happens with underpowered or overpowered amps on certain CDs!

I agree with the above comments. If your amp is overdriven into "clipping" the fuse on your 3.6's will blow (and some times your tweeter.) I had to learn the hard way with my 3.5's. These maggies are so clean that there is a tendency to crank up the volume control a bit too much. Happy listening.
