high performance 25W PowerAmp

It has great potential for improvement, when you built the first prototype, please report back.
I'm happy to do that 😉. Was this /your request actually meant and expressed as an order?

Once again I would like to point out that you are on my ignore list - it's incredibly exhausting to temporarily not let you go uncommented.

Reminder:
This thread is not, and I emphasize not, about the powerful MicroCap12 tool, but about L.Stellema's circuit proposal.

I do that exactly one time

That .cir has the models inserted on the text page. ...hope it works

You can also insert them manually on the bottom of the schematic page, click Text, scroll down and paste at the end

.MODEL BD203 NPN(Is=457.5f Xti=3 Eg=1.11 Vaf=50 Bf=156.7 Ise=1.346p Ne=1.34 Ikf=3.296 Nk=.5961 Xtb=2.2 Br=7.639 Isc=604.1f Nc=2.168 Ikr=8.131m Rc=91.29m Cjc=278.7p Mjc=.385 Vjc=.75 Fc=.5 Cje=433p Mje=.5 Vje=.75 Tr=1.412u Tf=37.34n Itf=35.68 Xtf=1.163 Vtf=10 Rb=.1)

Agreed. I am not interested in another simulating software, LTSpice works and is widely accepted.
If someone wants me to simulate a circuit, I will accept a running LTSpice asc-file -
and not fiddle with anything like missing component models.

-10dB means:
changed from 0.003% to an incredible 0.001% at any /witch? point in the THD(a function of ...).

Responsible for this astonishing improvement of this metric is not the type of coupling (we distinguish between dc-coupling, ac-coupling, coupling by means of a base BJT circuit and diode or Z-diode coupling), but the higher gain factor of your throw in the open loop is the cause. Not the Z!
You try turn everything around to your liking.
I have written "zdiode vas" that means the whole circuit including zdiodes and other possible modifications.:
In my schematic, the criticized zdiode vas has about 10dB better THD than the AC coupled VAS from hbt´s latest schematic.
I put in the zdiodes primarily to get rid of the coupling caps.

Did you find out what is wrong with your VAS?
 
I did this before as you can read in upper posts. With the expected result that the circuit did not work.
So I gave it a last chance and installed you sim software to check your original.
Which did not work. And looking at MC - the GUI and its philosophy is quite different from LTSpice,
even simple things like setting a probe take hours of manual studying.
Now you may install LTSpice, setup the circuit error-free within 15 minutes and post the asc-file.
 
Explanation:

I am very familiar with all the components we usually use in a low frequency circuit, for example in a trivial audio amplifier.

Please refrain from your unqualified jibes Bernhard, such a habitus casts a bad light, not only on you, but also on Bavaria and your home base Munich.


I've had enough now,
I'll get off at the next bus stop and leave this thread to you.
