or, rather, using same proper speakers, all the time 
though, all of my amps are sounding nice even through small Dynaudio drek; go figure

2 channels are up and running, +/-24V supply, 1,5A bias, offest ~10mV, load 8Ohm, heatsink ~60°C
So far so good, but
blue=input signal
Same on both channels, parts selection and soldering well done.
R12 and R13 are soldered by you on bottom side showing 1000. That´s 100R right?

where exactly measured?

as per protocol for smd resistors, read as 100*10^0, so yes, 100R
can' t see split washers on output parts screws
now, screws for energy points; hope you soldered screw heads on bottom side; that's how clever guys did it, as I saw in various professional gear
helper flux is handy for that
above the traniswhere exactly measured?
thats only for testing da thing. I´ll solder proper wires when everything is fine.can' t see split washers on output parts screws

I miss some gain...
What size fastener did you use?
M3 wouldn’t fit without enlarging the hole which would remove the through hole copper. If that’s that’s the case, I wouldn’t solder wire in those locations, keep the fasteners and solder them in place as ZM suggested.

It´s M2 and fits perfectly trough hole 😉
But as already said, this is only for testing.
Gain is the issue not the fasteners...

I was addressing the connection fastener method, nothing to do with gain.
Good to know that M2 fits without modification👍🏻

hope you get it as it is prescribed
A=1+(330/(33+33))
if that is the case, and no reason not to be, just preamplify your signal

gain is ~ 1V34pp to 8Vpp, meaning ~0V5rms for 1W@8R .......... call it 15.5db
some notes I made:
and that's written in post #8
Did you see the measurements from post #283?
Input Vpp ~6V
Output Vpp ~4V
hope you get it as it is prescribed
A=1+(330/(33+33))
I did
Input Vpp ~6V
Output Vpp ~4V
hope you get it as it is prescribed
A=1+(330/(33+33))
I did
if every part is in place, with proper value, and you're able to set Iq and offset, I don't know how it's possible to get wrong gain
you did mention smd resistors soldered by me - those are R12 and R13; circuit can even go without them , they're here just for very unlikely case of TP2 wiper loosing contact
just for fun, what's voltage across R6?

V R6=1,09V -> 3,2mA trough J1, T1
I used 5k6 for R10, that´s what I had. V R10 is 19,4V -> 3,4mA trough PC817

Have you tried to check using a DMM the RMS values from input/output. What I am after is if there is a x10 "misunderstanding" from scope "yellow" signal?
if puzzled, always try with another instrument

try with DVM, input and output
edit: Meper was faster

I was contemplating x10 for previous pic, but I didn't found logic in that, so didn't asked
