I'll second the recommendation of the "Low TIM Amp" articles by Leach.
I used them as background material when I was building amps as an EE
undergrad.

People have been alluding to adequate "safe operating area" for
the output stage ("use 100V power transistors," etc.) without stating
it explicitly.  The high slew rate, low distortion, 100W per side
(into a resistive load on the test bench!) amp that I built my
senior year was blown up when I pushed it hard while connected to the 
transmission line speakers I built the next year in grad school ...

beware the inadequate SOA,
