New Magnepan 1.7 Owner

Hi guys. I'm the proud owner of really, my first pair of Magneplanar speakers (I only spent a few days with the MG12 and decided to upgrade). I picked up my 1.7's yesterday in the aluminum trim. I will post a review soon.

Anyway, I wanted to ask a few questions about the simplest of upgrades, replacing the tweeter jumpers and fuses.

I need recommendations on fuses and most importantly, where I can purchase them. Also, I don't know much about electronics but I think the value of the fuse is the same as the 1.6 correct? 4A Large Fast Blow?

Also, tweeter jumpers. I have some Audioquest Banana connectors and some Audioquest speaker wire, should I remove the stock jumpers and replace them?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Wanna know how the 1.7 sound? I've been breaking them in for several months now and this is my setup.

Tweeters on the inside. The speaker with the serial number ending in 2 is on the left when facing the speaker from the front.

Serial # 2 Serial #1

Anti-cable speaker wires and interconnects connected to a
NAD C375BEE integrated amp 150 watts 8 ohms.

Cambride Audio DacMagic and a Trends USB Audio Converter UD-10 lite with an Impact Velocity interconnect to my PC.

Foobar Software playing my files which are all ripped with EAC software.

Finally a PSB 5i subwoofer set at 150 crossover and volume set extremely low like 1/3 to the first dot. Connected with Impact Acoustics Sonicwave speaker cable.

How does it sound? Wow, wow, wow!!! and all less than $4500.00
