I'm in the process of building just such a beast 🙂 Not finished yet, might be a couple of weeks before I test it. I'll let you guys now how it goes.
I have a lovely 15v bipolar supply to go with these.
are you using 4 boards for the balanced build?

Yes, 4 boards with one, maybe two supplies for dual mono. I like overkill 🙂
Is the gain 2 with the values in BOM?
If I go balanced will gain be 4 then?
Edit: The BOM says R1-R6= 10R that cant be right,?The schema says 2K.R4,R5.
And R1 is 21R.?

Gain is 2 in the BOM so going balanced will double that.
The BOM and schematic I have says 10R on R1-R6 and thats what I built.
What schema do you have?and schematic I have says 10R on R1-R6 and thats what I built.

V1.1. Its in the file linked in my signature.

See post 56 for the answer to that question.
Mr Majestic,did you use this bias with the HD650?Suggested bias is to measure around 30mv at the emitter resistors (R1-R6). This will get you about 3ma bias per device. (9ma total)
having ordered some boards from the group buy, i have looked through the parts bin to see what i can scavenge.
I have a fair few bc549b and bc556b. can these be used as the Q's without other changes?

Yes, I did. I didnt experiment outside Russ Whites instructions, but Im sure there is room for it.

Look at post #257, I've got a HD-650.
A little bit more gain will be magnificent...😉
any views on the bc556 and bc549? hoping to get an order in for the rest of the parts sometime today.

I wouldnt dare to speculate on that. I hope Russ will chime in.

They will work, but since BC547C & BC557C are widely available and dirt chip, I see no point using other then specified ones.
