choosing audio amplifier IC

[4a4ik]

Hello, How would you choose an IC if you need to build an audio amplifier ?
I usually used something popular like tda2030, but are there company catalog of some sort, where I can find all the IC's that company has produced with all the specs ?
For example I tried st microelectronics and Maxim sites to find this info, but I could only find their last 20 Ic's.

Where or how I need o search, to find an audio amplifier IC that suits my requirements ?
Just in general, I don't need a specific IC right now.

If you are just looking in general, you could try using one of the distributor websites like Digikey / Element 14 etc.  They have parametric search options which may be helpful in narrowing down your choices.
