If this is the case, look at some of the Nelson Pass designs. No overall
network feedback, output stages are inexpensive FETs biased well into class A,
and in spite of all the buzzwords, they sound damn good. I haven't run
distortion spectra on any but I'd bet you could make a good guess by looking
at the output device curves. (This being the case, I would suspect that
the particular MOSFETS you chose would make a substantial difference in
the sound.... negative feedback would do a lot to reduce those differences).
