I have noticed the in Audio reality, Bruce suggest the use of slow blow fuse (1.5A) in F1 and F2 for speakers protection. Would it be a better option to use fast blow fuse to improve the response in case of short?

Does anyone build T8 without the conventional speaker protection circuit? Any problems?

I use fast blow fuses in that position although not in the same OTL.
Give the fast ones a try, if they blow for no apparent reason use 2A FB types and see how that works out.
Just make sure you still have protection.

Cheers,😉
