IMHO, this is not an amp, this is a soundmachine! The damping faktor is perhaps 0.7, distortion at full output about 2-3%! Perhaps you can listen to ABC news but not to a symphonic orchestra! This circuit is too easy. Try out an old style Mullard circuit with 20db feedback. The GE 6BQ5 can sound very well with a high transconductance input (perhaps WE417) and a &CG7/6SN7 or 6922 phase splitter. Make a circuit. I would help you solving the occuring problems.
