LME49830 Reference Design Amplifier

I think that what you do is similar to Mark Johnson's amplifier with composite boards. That is, an input board for the chip and various output boards. Here's the second channel FFT

and while I am at it -- one of the DIYAUDIO contributors worked on the development of the LM4702 and wrote an application note "LM4702 Driving MOSFET Output Stage" in 2007. (Now Texas Instruments AN-1645). He mentions that the P and N channel Ciss differ quite a bit, suggesting that the gate stopper resistance value and Ciss time constants match up. This will benefit from matched slew rates! It's a bit fetishist for some.

I had to tame the channel which was slewing at 27 V/us -- it would occasionally go unstable. CComp was increased to 47pF

This mostly depends on how "pair" is optimised.
Best case in terms of THD - if transconductance is matched but capacitance highly differ.

This will benefit from matched slew rates!
DiyAudio need to raise the stakes in terms of incredibly fast EF3.
Please, let me know, are there described an approach with very slow third pair and driver pair shoot through third pair's huge Base-Emitter capacitance?
 
@Astaro -- plenty of current drive there. and inverting.

In the 2nd edition of Cordell's "Designing Audio Power Amplifiers" he describes a circuit using both LME49830 and LT1166 for biasing.

In the 6th edition of Douglas Self's "Audio Power Amplifier Design" he has several graphs (Figures 11-21,22,23) illustrating the benefit of 2-pole compensation. It is peculiar that one of the channels using the NatSemi EVM would require more compensation than the other. 47pF cuts the slew rate more than 50% Time to try something new.
