I actually used a Mystery amp to drive an early pair of Magnepan IIa from 1980 or 81. They were picked up at an estate sale and were surprisingly still running fine, though the typical corrosion of the copper was happening.
They sounded pretty amazing, but due to their inefficiency didn't get much above low level listening. The ZMA had the grunt to get them to move, which really surprised me, and the speed was fantastic, just not enough overall horsepower to drive such inefficient Maggies from the early 80s.
I would really love to hear the ZMA on something newer that would hopefully be more efficient! I love fast speakers, I just find the old Maggies and the like to be too inefficient for a fine tube amp.
I bet your speakers sound pretty amazing with those BHK. I'm hoping to get a chance to listen to them in the next few months now that I live 45 minutes away from PS Audio.
