This was the best i could make up, fitting a high class requirements. You'd need a split rail ±9V power supply and the output power is 3Wrms. The overall consumption is 6W and the efficiency is 50%, but it works in class AB, which grants better quality audio at lower levels. The peak current draw is 1.5A. THD+N is usually very low at 0.01%. Despite the apparent high grade parameters i recommend using an op amp amplifier for the purpose, for several reasons, some of which are - stability, compactness, ease of construction. The THD reading will probably not be as low as mine, but it'll still be well below the audible limit. Ripple rejection is good at -66dB. The frequency response is 1Hz - above 20Khz. All transistors, except the 2xPower transistors, should be low noise like BC550 and BC549. The power transistors may be any medium power transistor, rated at least 10W. Small heatsinks must be placed.

N3055?

Will tps55010 work as switching power supply for dual split rails?

No it wouldn't work because the current limiting is set for 200mA and you'd need a peak current handling of 1.5A

2N3055 are quite big, with not very good parameters. I suggest BD139 and BD140.

Ok so far I have been doing a bit research here for your circuit. I have some question that need some answers...

For all capacitors, rated for voltage is at 10? 25? And for all resistors, all rated at 1/2 watts?

For all transistors, NPN would be BC549/BC550 and PNP would be between BC556 to BC560. The two power transistors you mentioned, and I assumed it would be in bottom-little-to-left of circuit, mated next to each other using the heatsink, Is it correct?

@thebugger i am still struggling on power transistors and capacitor voltages. Please let me know :)
