Default Chipamps without quasi-complementary output stages?

PNP output transistors are a problem to implement on chip amps.

I've always found it taints the amp's sound, sometimes with stability problems and I'd like a true complementary output stage.

I looked at schematics and found these are quasi's:
The National Semi Overture lineup: LM1875, LM1876, LM2876, LM3886, LM3875, LM3876, LM4766, and pretty sure the LM4870, LM4781 too.

STMicro TDA2040, TDA2050 etc. are also quasi's.

Sanyo discontinued their thick film hybtrid IC's in 2005 (STK series) which have complementary outputs.

Are there any chipamps that don't use quasi-complementary output stages?
