Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
I’m looking forward to further evidence, of amps being damaged by, "high-end" fuses. Like I said, the Internet SHOULD be replete with the tales. One would think the Fuse Police, ought to have an easy time digging them up. Perhaps, AT LEAST ONE inf...

Clausius would be SO PROUD of that last post. What a swirling blast of hot air and cerebral entropy!

@kosst- "I’m gonna believe Ramtubes over snake oilers who’ve never built a circuit."??? Ever heard the saying about making assumptions? Of course, in your case(apparently), that ship sailed, LONG ago!

Those highly discounted, NEW Silver Stars and Classic Golds(from Burlington, Ontario), are probably being proffered by Parts Connexion.

Remove all wires from the HTM2(jumpers and from the amp), and check from red to black, one binding post pair at a time, multimeter set on, "Ohms". If one pair shows a short, or- very low impedance, you’ve found your issue and can stop. See what yo...

It seems, quite a few that frequent this site, value the opinions of the Stereophile Magazine writers. Personally, I would think, they’d be somewhat conscientious, as much as they value testing things, before recommending a product/tweak, in their...

I COULD also mention: when I auditioned a pair of Claus Bunge’s excellent Odyssey monoblocks, in my home, a few years back, I had occasion(with his permission) to remove the top cover of one. In the rail voltage(DC) fuse positions, lo and behold, ...

@ramtubes: I thought I was pretty concise, when I stated, " I’ve had HI-FI Tuning’s fuses(Gold and now Supremes) in my Cary monoblocks’ mains and B+ circuits, for over 12 years, without a problem. That’s not counting when the occasional tube took ...

Do any of your speaker wires run under a carpet? I’ve seen many cables shorted(their insulation crushed), after being stepped on repeatedly. 
Speaker problem
With the tweeter and woofer each having separate inputs, you should be able to check each’s network, by(with volume all the way down/jumpers removed) connecting your speaker cable to one pair of binding posts(red/black) at a time and barely/very s... 
Speaker problem
The HTM2's have bi-wiring provision.   Did you happen to change anything, regarding the wiring(jumpers or connections), before the problem arose?   
Speaker problem
" They told me by phone that it could be the Yamaha ( I don’t know how)" How? Their cash drawer probably told them. There is the possibility that the HTM’s problem is intermittent. Again: You mentioned the amp shutting down, when you increase volu... 
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
AH, yes-  Pontificating from the, 'Throne of  Inexperience'. 
Speaker problem
The center speaker has to be the problem, from your testing. It’s obviously damaged, one way or the other. Again, though- Did the Yamaha & HTM center speaker combination work, at one time(is this problem a recent development)?  You mention the...

@bdp24 - I try to apprise myself of as much information as available, whatever I’m considering. So- no problems at all, with reading as many OPINIONS as possible. One should remember, that these are all OPINIONS, however. I try to base my decision...
