Resistors 1K*4
Don't forget cathode impedance when calculating resistance center.

Only important if you want symmetrical push and pull slew rates.
The lowest impedance is at the cathode (above the 1K*4 resistors),
but slew is not symmetrical here, so we look for the true center.

Translated to simplified Chinese, then back to English with Google.
Still makes good sense. So I think this message can be understood.

Google translate produces 为什么包括下面的低音增强130HZ左右 - 是,如果你的音箱放弃?
for AJT's question. I can't tell if this translation is sensible. as I'm a single language white trash American :) Reversing the translation produces "Why include bass boost 130HZ below about - is that if your speakers to give up?" which is somewhat garbled. "Bass" here means "low audio frequencies, not the fish. :)

Looks like the middle stage of your amp is a combination of a "long tailed pair" differential stage and a SRPP style circuit.
