I'd take the gate resistor R8 of the top IRF510 higher --> 510k too, and add a gate resitor >> 10 ohms.
The input/driver will have reduced distortion as you take a higher Vb there, say 50V. This might be a considerable reduction. It is also something that the feedback in the way you design it, cannot correct. This means that RP1 has to increase along the way.
It does have a Pass flavour to it that is nice. Its simple. What do we want more? Well, Q4 is not really needed, and by having a resister it should work out well too methinks.

have a look with this circuit diagram,can it works well?
I draw this circuit diagram last night...
RP1 control the currency of output stage,set it to 50K at first;
RP2 control the voltage of ouput point(0.22V+1/2Ucc);
SK170 can replace with sk389 or NPD5564(twins);
it is fet/mosfet version of Aikido Amplifier by John Broskie, TCJ

haha:
yes,I understand your meaning.
but as a small "kid"(only 4W output power),it's capability was enough strong,THD=0.15%,phase angle is +0.2 degree(20Hz) and -0.7 degree(20KHz).I think it is so great...
all for it's simply.I like it,and hope it's sound can sweet than ZEN2(the class-a amp I have alread build)..

There are substantial differences between yours and the original design but I like yours better.
Yours has the gain in the first and 2nd stages: both are drain-loaded-with-CCS and with global feedback. The original is a source-follower, followed by a drain-loaded with CCS for gain, without any feedback.
It is my experience that it is easier to have gain with small signal. So I was wondering if you can improve upon your design by using a source-follower in the 2nd stage (source follower + CCS).
You can then limit the feedback to the first stage as well (you can look into the Zen to see how to implement feedback in the first stage).
Let me know what you think.

hi,tlf9999:
At first I really don't know would it sounds better than the original version, because global feesback can cause other unexpectable problem...maybe it just decrease distortion in parameter..low distortion not mean it can sounds well..and I am so afraid the speaker's reverse voltage loop back and effect the first gain stage..
I don't want to use source-follower,I think IRF510's C-input is 180pF,driver current in 10mA is suitable.too strong driver stage perhaps let sound comes too "hard"(not sweet),I think..
but if you want use IRF530 or IRF540..this source-follower is needed to high frequency(10KHz or more)..

hi,DJNUBZ:
in fact,this circuit can output 4.5W(RMS) with 1.1A bias current.
have fun!
