The Linsley - Hood single Ended Solid State Class A Amp

In one of the recent Electronic & Wireless World's there was a updated
Version of the Linsley - Hood single Ended Solid State Class A Amp. 
The major part of the re-design was the removal of the Output Capacitors.

The Author build the original Version in the early 70's as replacement 
(stereo) for his Willamson Amplifier. Spec's where 10Watt into 8 Ohm. 
The Author claims that his Amp was up against his Wiliamson Valve Amp 
and a ST70 and sounded MUCH better than the available Transistor designs 
of his time.

The re-designed Version uses stabilised +/- 22 Volt Rails, 2 Ampere Bias 
Current and two npn BJT's in the Output (the hepepitaxial version of the 
2N3055 - this is not the 3055 we all have come to love inside our first 
homebuild Amp!). 

This Amp has some global feedback (so has the Pass-Zen) and should put 
out 15 Watt into 8 Ohm. some of my own calculations suggest that with +/- 
16 Volt Rails and 3 Ampere Bias current we should have a nice Amp for the 
Poly Natalia or the Ariel (as far as solid state designs go under Nice :) 
) with 15 Watt SE power into 4 Ohm (Power Dissipation would be a whopping 
100 Watt per channel.
