features AB/operation of the output transistors with a bias current of 1.5mA
(set by 15k). The complementary pairs should have a similar beta. To have a
symmetrical clipping at around +/-11.5V a zener in the positive supply of
the opamp overcomes the bootstrapping action of the 100u capacitor.
Keeping the output transistors conducting reduces distortion by a whole
magnitude. There is no current limit, so an 100R output resistor protects
the transistors. Temperature compensation is intrinsic to the circuit, no
thermal runaway should occur.
