I've used easyEDA to create an EF2 Blameless-style amp schematic and find it easy to use, but up to a point. After 14 months of reading Netflag breaks/errors and fixing these only to Save and Refresh and see rework dissapear or flags reappear, I've decided to swallow my pride ask for help.
My aim is to sell PCBs to raise money for a Social Enterprise [OneDollarGlasses] and local charity [SeeScape] - both support people with vision issues. Should anyone have an interest in assisting me please reply. Once the amp is soak tested, I'll make the Gerber available to those of a like mind who may wish to sell PCBs in their region and donate profits to a charity of their choice. Using easyEDA isn't imperative should someone wish use a different tool. The schematic attached has fuses and some protection diodes to get placed in.

Imo switch to kicad, that way more folks can help out and it’s a much better tool to use.
When designing a power amplifier spend some time up front on the chassis, mechanical design ( heatsinks) aspect as that will guide the choices of pcb sizes etc.

I tried it but it's not friendly for folks with vision impairement, the small menu fonts..... only the icons can be increased Thanks for your input.
I'm not a KiCad user, but I thought ran under linux and usually in X using X resources a compliant program allows the user to change the font. I know my software allows this. It is almost automatic. Maybe windows does something similar if you are using windows. Oddly, not a well published feature in X11. You can often change menu colors as well.
Neither am I and for the reason stated. I'm not asking for help resizing. I don't wish for the thread to be one on resizing fonts or buy a bigger monitor or other operating systems. Thanks for your input.

Consider adding small emitter resistors (e.g., 0.22Ω - 0.33Ω) for thermal stability and current sharing. For full speaker protection, think about adding a speaker relay + DC detect or output crowbar/clamp circuit.
Off topic - I've posted in the software section. I do have a thread ongoing since last year in the Design section of the forum, but thanks for your input.
