It looks like you didn't take any of the advice that you were given on your last post, so I won't be helping. But... I will say that while the original design would work poorly, this one won't work at all.
Actually, I changed the entire right side, minus the fact it's quasi-complementary. I also added a Zobel network, NFB, and another voltage gain stage. But ok, thank you for letting me know. I don't want to do an AB output for this project ๐คท๐ป
No. It's not. You're using a unique topology that was originally used to eliminate the output transformer in shirt pocket radios.
A quasi-complementary is just like a complementary amplifier except the bottom darlington has been replaced with a Sziklai pair. It's prone to oscillation and was only used because older PNP power transistors were exceptionally poor performers.
Come again? That output stage you have can only be operated as class AB or class A. It's (almost) always used class AB.
Don't be a Richard. You can use all the help you can get with this and there's people here that can help you. So don't be some armchair engineer when you don't even know basic terminology and act like a complete phallus and expect people to want to help you.
