I bought another pair of Monitor 5jr's on Ebay, unpacked them and fired up in the Garage... Kenwood pre, Yami cd changer, Adcom GFA-1a amp...
Warmed them up a little with some Nickelback...
After 15 min. turned up some Kutless:D and POP!... the fused blew! Both 'em..?
Not more than 4 on the Volume..?
It was loud, but enough to blow the fuses?
I guess my ? was, do fuses get old? And which is the correct replacement fuse for 5jr's..
Thanks Guys and Gals! God Bless!
Thanks, Jeff...

    Are there 2 fuses per speaker, or one?

    Just one fuse... another question I have,

    Will a loose fuse holder affect SQ?
    Thanks, Jeff...

    It can. I had a few. Try to tighten it up with some needle noses before putting in the new fuses.
