This is new concept? or tested design?
Trying to put Sansui out of Business 🙂 Old Sanyo transistor, diode part numbers, MJE1503x, TIP35 o/p's, different combo 🙂
Once simulated the AU-X11 design in ltspice, it can have stability issues.
Worked on a AU-X901, last year, it was balanced drive to a floating speaker, nice control over driving a speaker. good sound quality. A few offset/gain adjustments, used a transformer for headphones 🙂 Good luck
 
This topology was used by David Tilbrook in the early eighties, the AEM6000.
Very good sounding amplifier, but quite complex. It has been redone very well by Suzy Jackson on this forum.

There are opportunities to drive the second diff pair as a folded cascade. Sounds even better.
