You know this subject of paralleled sections has come up many times over the span of this forum. Others as well regarded as PJ have weighed in on the negative side IIRC (forgive caps). I've tried it several times because of the theoretical benefits. All I can say is I don't like it. Things seem smeared. I also know the theoretical benefits of negative feedback but I've heard both ways and I think with NFB amps sound like crap. All are entitled to their opuntia I've never heard a great sounding slide rule. :-)
