Good amp design. I've seen so many mosfet amp projects in electronics 
magazines in the 80's and 90's. All of them were too complicated I thought. 
I've seen some single-ended designs recently that look like they might be 
fun. Very few parts. Almost like making a tube amp (guitar). I have some 
IRF510's (4). Maybe I could make a tiny amp that ran hot. Would a Class A 
amp run cooler the more voltage you put through it?
