I haven't tried Mark V kits, but I highly recommend Dick Smith's MOSFET
amp kit.  It is based on a project in the July 1985 issue of Australian
Electronics magazine.  The quality of the parts seems quite high, the
instructions are a reprint of the article (which is pretty clear), and
the price was right ( $40 for 100W MOSFET kit a while back).  I am
very pleased with the amp's performance.  I have two mono kits in a
rack mount and often lend it out for parties.  The amp runs cool
without a fan, has never shut down, and sounds nice...  Total cost with
case was $150, although I got the power supply parts at a great price
surplus.

Try contacting Dick Smith Electronics and see if they still have the kit.
I don't have an address:  they moved and I have not relocated them.  I
think they advertise in the back of Radio-Electronics.

Best of luck,

Paul
