I just converted the output stage on the low frequency EQ unit for my Infinity RSIIb speakers from cap-coupled single-ended mosfet to direct coupled with OPA827 opamps, and the new output stage is much more transparent and clear sounding. The entire signal goes through this stage after equalization.
I know single-ended mosfet stages have a much better audio rep than lowly opamps, but the SiGe OPA827 is very nice sounding, and its exceedingly low DC offset lets me rid the circuit of the output coupling cap - the best cap is no cap, IMHO.
