Some popular amps have PCBs like the one pictured below. Note the following:
- there are multiple components stuffed into the same through-hole pads
- different components share pads. In many places, one component is inserted 'diagonally' from the lower pad of one component to the upper pad of a different component. I'm not sure how this was done, but I know that one builder who designs such boards uses Eagle.
- the pads are generously oversized. 

Thoughts?
