LME49811, 49810, 49830 and LME49880, 49990 obsolete?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3886, LME49990, OPA1611, OPA1642

Hi,

I'm quite shocked to find out that these ultra-high-end audio products  are gone.

1)  I'm truly puzzled --- why would TI discontinue such great products?

2)  Are there any replacement / equivalent parts that I could check out?  For op-amps, there are still pretty good options (LME497xx and some of the OPA's) --- but for the ultra-low-distortion power amplifiers, the 49811, 10, and 30 were it.   I see no interesting options now --- there's still the LM3886, but I'm not quite fond of that one  (plus, it's not a comparable part if one considers max. power capability).

Can someone please shed some light on this?  In particular, point me to any equivalent/similar parts that may be available?

Thanks,
Carlos
