Feed-forward or feed-back, it all really amounts to the same thing. With feed-forward it's only the error signal that's inverted and re-injected into the signal path (x gain), so any advantages are more to do with the overall topology than with error correction methods.

That said, the AHB2 is a performer on the test bench that few amplifiers can touch.
