Maybe the oscillation is causing the warm outputs?

Okay, got everything looking good!
First of all, I have no idea where that 5MHz signal was coming from, it wasn't there at work and it's not there now at home.
There always was a little high frequency fuzz on the top half of the sine wave that would go away when cranked.
It was caused by the T039 I used for Q6, a brand new transistor. I replaced it and it's gone.
I don't think it was enough oscillation to cause the amp to run warm.
Across the bias diode string from CR1 to CR3 there is ~ 1.9v. If I jumper across CR1 & CR2 and leave only .6v bias there is no crossover distortion and it should run cooler.
Think I should leave those diodes out of the circuit?

The question is DOES it run cooler. We know it should. COmpromise. What does it do with just one diode out? Or replace both those with a single new diode.Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.
