You are 54th guy who asks the same question about F5 and the answer is still the same: no, it's not a clever thing to do - use the search button and find out why

Which for me means that it's only worthwhile if done very well. Possibly using two regulated supplies - a simple one for output and something really nice for the input. There might also be an issue of an output switch-on/off transient if the supplies have different time constants.
nope nope nope
ppoint is - for upper part of circ - positive rail is base for biasing and modulating the output mosfet
same for lower part of circ - negative rail is base for bias and modulating the output mosfet
include any series element between mosfet and adjacent modulating source ( adjacent jfet) , you'll induce who knows what
there is simply no benefit but only harm , trying to separate supply paths between jfet and mosfet
if you want anything regulated - try with entire PSU , either real reg , or "just" cap multiplier
wanna proof ?
mount additional steering wheel in your car , right in front of passenger seat ;
connect it with real steering wheel with soft rubber band ; then say to your passenger to lay hands on it and do exactly in time whatever you do with steering wheel ; observe .
then replace soft rubber band with firm chain and repeat operation ; observe

Poor Padanian Man's Xed Balanced Amp F5 Pass/Juma/Euvl-based with 2SK2013/2SJ313
While waiting for the little Toshibas to come from Zhoufang (10 weeks lead time
), I’ve been attracted (and who has not?) from this http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/172770-balanced-f5-question.html thread, so I thought to a 313/2013-based version. The attached schematic comes directly from that thread, and the values of R1/R101 and R2/R102 (widely commented) so as R7/R8 and R9/R10 are copied from EUVL’s schematic (see attached), so consider them as tentative values.
Is this beast feasible? Are there alternative values of supply voltage / idle current that could be considered in order to achieve the “sweet spot” or even lower the overall dissipation (at the price of a lower max power output)?
I’m aware of dissipation issues, so we (in fact, I’m representing a bunch of ardent DIYers) are already thinking to a very ambitious (for us) case, but this is another story (another case, in fact).
Juma (or any other), could you comment please?

Juma,
Thank you for your reply.
However, my target is to reduce dissipation, not to increase it.
What about 3 pairs @ 0,5A? (keeping in mind cost-benefit ratio, following ZenMod's PSM policy)
And furthermore, what is your opinion about FB resistors' value? Difference between the lower and upper half or standard 50 Ohm for both as in F5?
Guido

Guido -
This is very much like what I was thinking of doing. I like Juma's idea about 4 pairs of outputs on each side.
I've also been trying to chase down the IRFP balanced XF5. How do you optimize the resistors around the outputs for any device? It seems like this knowledge would be useful in trying a number of outputs.
