Here's a jpeg of the circuit.
I think the problem is the output network, I was trying to stabilize the amplifier for a maximum 10nF capacitive load and that requires either a big output resistor (~100 ohms) or a big compensation C.
So the compensation needs some fixup. Any suggestions?

Ok I changed the output network and compensation, it now has a loop compensation C from output to inverting input and an RC at the VAS output. Spice predicts 50° phase margin (see picture). I'm still a noob at this poles/zeroes stuff so no idea what the resistor in series with the VAS compensation C does but it did improve things
It now has 10.4V/us slew rate (tested with 1Vp 300K input signal).
Any suggestions on how to come up with an ideal combination of R's and C's to compensate this thing?
