Operation of a LLC power converter is not spread spectrum, The circuit is LC resonant and the frequency varies between two region extremes, depending on the load ... (regions defined by LsC & (Ls+Lm)C)

Looks impressive, no ferrite beads. Hopefully you have a 1-2 GHz BW scope to check for parasitic oscillation. Layout can be tricky.
And I guess you feel strongly about this amplifier.

Since your SMPS is resonant mode, & not hard switched, maybe there is less chance of VHF Oscillation, depending on the gate drive.
Is the GaN Clas D amplifier self resonating feedback or PWM

F##King fantastic mate!! leave it on. please yourself, this is not a massive commercial endeavour that needs to censor. I have been waiting for someone on here to do something interesting with the EPC fets. I have a strip that I bought to try in a headphone amp EPC2012 IIRC. I think these are not so bad parts to be stuck with 🙂 i'm sorry if I have missed it, but do you have any idea of cost for a 2 channel all in one amp?
What boards do you currently have and what is coming up in production?
Looking for something around 50w to 75w per ch 4 ohm load.
