The low power chips seem appropriate for many portable systems but the 10% THD for some of the boards ?

The high power 100+W ones look interesting. Just can't locate any specs for them other than the power ratings.
If they are anywhere near the Icepower ones or outperform them, I could see a proliferation of high powered active speakers though.
Infineon ain't small fry when it comes to electronics and chips.

Quoting power at 10% THD seems to be the norm now for chip manufacturers unfortunately.

The MA120x0 datasheets are dated 2018 so fairly recent, but the performance doesn't seem to be setting any new standards. The rest have been around for several years. The IRS2092 is used on the IRAUDAMP7S with respectable performance for a cheap board as has been mentioned in other threads.
