Some of the specs are:

- Input sensitivity - 3Vpk-pk for full output
- Frequency response - 1Hz - 24Khz@-3dB
- Gain - fixed at 29 (32dB)
- Output Power - 180Wrms/4ohm
- Power Consumption - 239W
- Efficiency - 75%
- Ripple rejection - very good at -62.7dB
- THD+N - 0.013% @ 180Wrms/4ohm

The 6 output transistors are 2N3055 and MJ2955 or a close equivalent. All 220mOhm resistors are wirewound or rated 5W at least. The 56ohm resistors are 1W and their driving transistors are BD139 and BD140

The second circuit is the Power Supply circuit (bridge and filtering) for the amplifier. The transformer is 110V(220V) - 35V - 0 - 35V. Recommended capacitor size 2x10mF. Any less and you risk deteriorating the overall quality and/or self oscillations.

The preamplifier requires perfect regulation. I suggest LM7812 and LM7912 in the highest ripple rejection topology possible. The ripples should be no more than a couple of mV.

Almost there. You need to post a picture of the completed project to show how it lays out. A BOM (Bill of Materials) would be nice, but not required.

This post will be removed when you post the required picture, else this post will be moved to the Projects Forum at a later date.

I have it on simulation. Haven't had the chance to build it yet, although it ,,lays out'' perfectly in simulation. I am using EveryCircuit to simulate it.

You should add reference designators to the components to aid discussions about the circuit. Also, you have a transistor as an active zener setting up static boas current through the output stage, so the circuit is class AB. This is better.
