Since 2SK389/2SJ109 V type are hard to find, may something like this be a BJT-version ?

Hi.

The idea is simple, just replacing complementary jfet with bjt-diamond.

Sure, I'll find the time to build and compare it with other, just for curiosity.
But first, I have to find the appropriate transistor and resistor value.
This is actually hard for me.
I do speaker and acoustic design but not really into amp design.
Build some DIY amp and preamp, but never design.

I tried to play a simulator and find something like this.
These are not optimum values, I know. Someone else will do much better than me for sure.

Question : Is it normal in this topology that odd harmonics dominate? Have it any important?

So please comment.

Thanks in advance.:bawling: 😕 😕
