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?

Interesting Thread.

There are several listed that I don't believe belong. Others that were geniuses but made bad sounding equipment that do belong, and a group that stole their ideas from others.

My short list but not complete list is:

Peter Snell
David Berning
Dale Pitcher of Essence and Intuitive Design
Alex from FMS
Dr. Hill of Hill Plasma
John Hillig of Musical Design, Rockford, Hafler
And last but not least our Military where several designs came from.
