MOSFET output stage

So what charges and discharges the damn gate capacitance you dozy bugger ?
The classic Class A voltage gain driver stage probably needs as much current
as if you were driving darlington output devices with a simple design..
In my ultra-low THD design I had a bipolar complementary Class A emitter
follower driving the mosfet gates ! It also removes the capacitive loading
from the voltage gain stage, increasing phase margin and loop HF response.
