When came the original publications or schematics by Borbely and by Lender ? Can we access the original texts ?
Are there DIY amplifiers available nowadays using such topology ?
What are the results ?
I have no interest in Lin, Blameless or Circlotron. Please don't try selling me these in this present thread ;-)

You mean this all MOS implementation dating back from 1992 (Audio Amateur) ?

The thread, solid solid state power amplifier, by PMA might be of some interest.

This is a "must read".
Next exercice is to analyze the Hafler DH200 schematic.
Then, analyze the Millennium power amp schematic.

1977 CC2 Audionics , whose schematic was taken from a manufacturer
app note.(was it Fairchild.?)...

This the 1979 version.

Hafler DH-200
Designed by Erno Borbely
1978

see attached .jpg

Another ancestor, that might well be the first such design
is the Motorola design published in REL 12/1973.

Notice the output stage topology.
