I blew up my KEF Q 75.2's along with some other speakers. Most died due to age not the power I gave them. But then again 600 watt's 8 ohms RMS a side will blow some stuff up Real Good.
You would think $1200.00 speakers would be fused, but the KEF's where not?
KEFs are rated at 200 watt's a side, not sure if 6 Ohms or 8 Ohms. KEF manual blows chunks. Just got them back and sound better than ever, but getting sick of going to DR HI FI ever weekend so I intalled some in line fues's.
KEF's are not Bi Post Mounted at this point. I used a in line fues on the + side of speaker cable at the speaker termail. Is that all I need to do, or should there be one on the - side as well? I was told that when I go BI Wire that I can use the same sizes fues on both termails.
Is there ruel of thumb on Max watt's, dB sensitivity, OHM and fuse. My Dahlquist DQ 10's have 3 amp in them. DR HI FI said the KEF would handel a 5 amp fues, but not much proteck there. Useing a 2.5 at this time, and think I just lost a F--king tweeter in one of the KEF's.
Not sure yet. Any help?
