Small Footprint SS Power Amps

Hoping to use this forum to quickly get a list of small footprint SS power amps - 14" or less wide - for a specific application I have. I need at least 100W (prefer more), prefer A/B. I know of the Benchmark ABH2 and various Quad models. Any others you are aware of? Appreciate the help!

Look at my StereoTimes website review on the SPL S800 single chassis amplifier. It fits the size you are looking for. It's made in Germany, very reasonably priced, and I made it a 2020 Product of the year because of its beautiful performance. I bought the review piece because I enjoy it so much. In my opinion, it's in another much higher league then the amps you mention in your post.

Many small-shop monoblocks using PuriFi or NCore modules would fit your description. Some well-known vendors are Nord in the UK, Apollon in Slovenia, and VTV in the US.
These are class D but I would not rule them out for that reason. I replaced a more expensive AB amp with PuriFi monoblocks and haven't looked back.
