Re: Fuses ??
Another 2A is pretty big. If it had a 3A fuse, I wouldn't up it to 5A. Do you have any idea why it blew the fuse to begin with?Presonus Audiobox USB, Schiit Magni 3, Sony MDR-V700 -

Fuses blow for a reason.
You don't want to give more amps to the reason.Mann-Made Global Warming.

Re: Fuses ??
fuses have been known to fail of there own accord but not "blown"
They are a protection device
Normally replace same with same, 3.15A seem to be a bit hard to find thought so use 3A
Some are slow blow type and some are fast acting
I am assuming they either a 3AG or M205 type fuses here but could be other.
If the fuse was blown apart in side the glass then it points to huge current being drawn this is usually caused by a short of some kind
I (as above) would first look at WHY it blew.
Were they (since you say fuses) DC power rail fuses? this could possible mean a shorted power Amp IC.
possibly shorted speaker wires
Since you mention creative its seems more likely a power Amp IC would be used then discrete build amplifiers.
These would most probably have regulators for the power rails so a failed reg could be the cause
So thats your first step really, find out why they blew
use 3A if you cant get the same
As bonez said you dont what to feed the problem more Amps
