RE: [motm] Limiting a Limited Limiter

How about using an inline fuse on the speakers?  I have a 1.5 amp fuse
inline with my Urei 809's and they've definitely saved my ass several times.
I'm pretty sure my hafler powered monitors have fuses too but I'm not sure
if they would work the same way.

Adam, don't feel like the Lone Ranger.  Early on, I blew the tweeter on
one of my powered Yamaha monitors due to manually misadjusted MOTM
levels - inexperience with these hot signals.  I think a limiter would be
very useful, and I would like to hear what others are using.
