Magnepan with upgraded fuses

Just purchased a used 1.6QR and I'm thinking of upgrading the fuses. I like the improvement that HiFi Tuning fuses have done with my Pre, Amp and CDP but not sure if they would make much difference in the Maggies.
Has anyone used upgraded fuses in Maggies? And, if so what changes, if any, did you hear.
Thanks

Fuses are outside the signal path.I can't imagine there would be any audio benefit.

Thanks for all the responses. Been traveling so checking AGon is sporadic.
Elizabeth, please elaborate on "coils." I'm unfamiliar with them.
Thanks.

Schipo - you are mistaken - the audio signal runs directly thru the fuses on Magnepans, so it is every bit as important to sound quality as he speaker cables.

If the signal is not going through the fuse, then what is the fuse there for?
Of course the signal runs through the fuse. Ceramic or composite fuses are better than glass.
