An audio power amplifier includes an input amplifier stage and an output power amplifier stage. The output power amplifier stage comprises a p-channel field effect transistor and an n-channel field effect transistor having interconnected drain electrodes forming an output signal terminal. A driver circuit is provided for driving the p-channel and n-channel field effect transistors in a transconductance mode of operation in which the output current through the field effect transistors is directly proportional to the input voltage applied to the output amplifier stage. A first feedback path is provided between the output power amplifier stage and the input amplifier stage. A second feedback path is formed between the output and input of the input amplifier stage.
