Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?

Two questions,

 

1. Hopefully someone can help. Does anyone know if a change of fuse to a Magnepan .7 and 1.7 can be placed in order to add more sparkle/treble to the top end? The fuses that come with them appear to do the opposite. Is this possible?

 

2. I’ve heard a couple of rumors that the 1.7 needs more power/current than the .7 yet the specs of 86db efficiency and 4 ohm load are the same. Opinions greatly appreciated.

the Mike Powell silver fuse (not actually a fuse) and silver jumpers made a very good improvement for my LRS...

I don’t doubt that the right boutique fuse might improve the high end, but how do you know that “The fuses that come with them appear to do the opposite.”?  Have you bypassed the fuses and compared?  Curious.

1.7 Bypassed. Beautiful top end.

I have complete faith in my amplifier. (4b3)

Do not want any speaker fuses in the path.

Cheers.
