Laser audio transmitter - need substitutes
As Alex says - any amplifier that provides enough audio output power to drive the speaker and to modulate the LASER adequately will be acceptable. 

You can replace the LASER with an LED and lens with surprisingly good results.
For long to very long distances a focused LED is superior to a LASER as the LASER beam self interferes due to its "coherence" while the non-coherent LED light does not.   

Lens:

A magnifying glass such as is used for reading works well enough for all except ultra long range applications. A glass lens will usually have lower losses than a plastic lens. 

Beam diameter = lens diameter at modest distances when properly focused.
Place the led on a sliding mount in a tube with lens at front.
At night or in dark conditions point the sender at a wall far enough away to ensure good adjustment (10 to 20 metres away works well) and slide LED until an optimumly focused image appears (minimum diameter sharply focused circle).  

At eg 10m distance looking into the beam from a red LED operated at 20 mA gives a "blinding" light! Ask me how I know :-). I first tried this about 35 years ago and even with LEDs of that era was impressed with the result.
With a good modern LED and a say 3"  75mm diamter lens irradiance in the beam at 10's of metres is in the 1000-2000 lux range!)



Most of the op-amps that you specified are "dual supply" which makes them less suitable for hobbyist use - they need a positive AND negative power supply to operate.  A "single supply" amplifier is easy to use in battery operated circuits. The output voltage of a dual supply amplifier usually cannot extend to either power supply rail. A single supply amplifier will usually swing ALMOST to ground and may reach V+. 

The 741 &amp; LM346 are obsolete.   

Single supply:

MC3403 - low cost single supply general purpose. OK for many undemanding applications.
Vout ~= 0+V* to Vcc-2V.
* Close to ground with a resistor to ground at output.

You will be able to buy the similar single supply LM324 (4 amplifiers) and LM358 (2 amplifiers) 

Dual supply:

NE5532 

TL082

LF412

OP177 low offset voltage precision amplifier. 

The ICL7650  is a "lovely" but expensive specialist amplifier - it is very nice but unnecessary in most cases. It is 'chopper stabilised' making it useful in high stability applications.
