Q about "Cool Follower"

Cool_Follower1.GIF

in the pic... which transistors to the o/p and for the driver ??
and can i connect a NE5532 opamp for the input and the amp will work good?
 
A comment to the picture:

"designed by Andrea Cuiffoli original and never seen design"

This design is very common in opamps and especially current feedback! I can agree to that the design is not very common in power amps. One of the reasons may be the uneffeciency. The current amplification isn't so high. I have also doubts about the thermal stability :confused:

I am looking for a push-pull unity gain power amp with good sonic quality and small idle current (Class AB). Is this a good topology or are there other circuit topologies with better results?
Where is the describtion of this project from Andrea Ciuffoli ?
