Designer Hall of Fame

There are many great designers out there, and especially in the lore from the golden age, but I'm not to familiar with them. I thought it might be interesting to discuss some of the great designers for engineering skill and knowledge, business integrity, and ultimatley quality of their products. My short list a "hall of fame" if you will of designers working today are:

Nelson Pass, Pass Labs
Charles Hansen, Ayre
Roger Modjeski, Music Reference
Ken Stevens, Convergent Audio Technolgy (CAT)
Kevin Hayes, VAC

and how could I leave Jeff Rowland off? Well it is a short list. Who would you nominate?

If we use your criteria of "......some of the great designers for engineering skill and knowledge...........", then this list is somewhat flawed. The list, as it stands now, looks to me as if it was assembled from image, as opposed to actual engineering know-how.

Either that, or you will have to re-define your criteria. In that case, it might could stand.

Hmmm......the late John Iverson. Interesting choice that I had completely forgotten about. He had some original ideas.

Some of the names on this list are absurd. I would think that anyone in the "Designer Hall of Fame" would not include anyone who calls me for advice.

I don't belong in it (even though my peers credit me for one or two notable contributions), so a good handful of the names listed don't belong there either.

I don't think that anyone mentioned Dick Sequerra. A sharp guy, who knows more than I do. He qualifies.
