LME49810 - a new cousin for LM4702

150W into 4r0 requires 34.7Vpk and 8.7Apk.
Into a reactive speaker load allow for transient current <=25Apk.

With 9mA available from the 811 you need an output triple or output double with a current gain >=2800 when delivering a total of 25Apk through the output device/s

A 2pair output stage with 12.5Apk passing each device you will need a triple.
A 3pair output stage (8.3Apk thro' each) may just work with a double if both driver and output have high gains at high currents.

LME 49811 has a class A output stage, others a class AB one.

Audioman says 49811 sounds better.

It seems possible (class A) to me since 49811 has a much lower output current. Its output stage or VAS indeed can remain in class A.

In layman terms, that's a yes, a maybe or a no? 🙂
 
What is the purpose of the 2.2-20k resistor between the gates of the mosfets, from N to P gate not the gate resistors themselves? Often see 2.2k, other time 12k and one had suggested 10-20k.

Most times before the gate resistor, other times after.

The example in AN1850 does not show them at all.

These chips do run a lot hotter than an operational amplifier -- with no load I measure 13 to 16mA on the Vcc and Vee rails respectively so they are biased hot. If you don't heat sink these chips the performance suffers.

I agree with you. Without proper heat sinking, THD increases substantially when load decreases.

THD vs output level vs load without proper heat sinking
