Cello One
All data comes from SPICE simulation.
I leave building this amplifier to diyAudio members.
I can not build it.
Max 15 Watt into 8 Ohm Class AB
TMC compensation
THD 0.00005% at 1 Watt
Easy to find components are used

It is necessary to build the circuit to evaluate the square response. And it is not a good practice to leave it on a builder, if one starts the project thread.
I beg to differ, @PMA
There are a great many threads of projects that started without building.
I have posted a few such threads.
And some people will like it and build together.
Now @PMA you do it the other way. You have the opportunity to build and publish. That's fine.
I have no possibility to build.

I will post squarewave 10kHz, too.
But the upper bandwidth is only 400kHz.
On the other hand that can be good for to make a stable amplifier.
Don't be so harsh Pavel, we know lineup does not build. But his designs were built by others and worked great. I am using one of his small classA amps with bookshelfs for testing preamps right now and it makes sweet sound.
Then it is a serious design, serious amplifier and you have to solve properly layout and especially PCB - ground returns, feedback return point, more output pairs, stability into complex load etc. Then it is not a toy anymore.
Maybe at least 50W?
Can raise power supply voltage to 35V and use ECX20N20 / ECX20P20 dual die laterals.

Yes, with 2 x 35V supply it should be possible to stick with one pair. With 2 x 55V supply I get 2 x 250W/4R and 2 x 150W/8R and the amp starts to be quite complex, if I want to stay at a safe side. But it is a dominant pole compensation, not TMC.

Sims have to provide enough info. Square wave in & out doesn't. What matters in that case are the waveforms within the feedback loop which might reveal clipping / overshoot. The AC voltage over R13 would provide that info.
I did, in another projects. It improves distortion at high frequencies, but it makes stability a bit worse, even if you have "enough" stability margin in loopgain analysis. Audibly, it brings nothing, there is no difference. After decades in this hobby, I do not believe any sighted test opinion. The test must be properly done double blind, with perfectly matched level, to have some significance.
Why write 0,000%? It could be 0,00099 which means that it is 0,001 really.
It is a simulation - and as such VERY uncertain - to play with decimals leaving the actual value out, pretending that it is 0 (?) is silly - nobody here is fooled by that - you must realise that. Be open - play no games.
