Hi Mile, due to reliable and easy to mount properties I'd suggest to replace Q5 (BC517) by a TO-126 device like BD139 or something like that. What rail voltages would you recommend for obtaining 500 watts@4 ohms? I guess there should be +/- 68 to 70 volts, right? And, last but not least, where do I find PCB layouts for your B500P and DC555 boards, respectively, and the schematics and silk screen for the latter one, too? With regards!
 
Hi Mr Mile, I want to make B500P MONO version. has it been tested? could it be done with 3 pairs of output transistors and a rail of +-70VDC for 250w/4ohms?
And the PSU specs would be a transformer 50+50VAC (3.5A)
And 15000uF+15000uF (total 30000uF)
Is it suitable for this amp?
Sorry for my english.
Thanks!

250W into 4ohms needs approximately ±56Vdc to ±58Vdc (38Vac to 40Vac @ ~500VA) and uses ~1200W of BJT output devices.
3pair of 200W gets you 1200W of total Pmax.
You definitely don't need 50Vac
