The actual *facts* of the matter are that, no matter what the *figures*
may or may not be, the single strand is still working perfectly well and
will obviously sustain enough current to provide a 'heap plenty loud' (too
loud) sound ....

** No one ever said otherwise.

A 5 amp fuse fitted in series with a 8 ohm speaker is not be likely to
*ever* blow in a domestic system.

Change the speaker to 4 ohms and it may well blow at some time.

Change the speakers to Quad ESL63s ( et alia ) and it will blow for SURE -
if the internal voltage clamping circuitry ever activates.

Some of us KNOW a few things about fuses.

****WIT !!
