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?

In NO particular order...
Jon Dahlquist, Saul Marantz, Jim Winey, Matti Otala-Per Abrahamsen, Tom Colangelo, James Bongiorno, Nelson Pass, Boothroyd & Stewart, Ray Dolby, Rob Watts, Stewart Hegeman, Peter Walker, John Curl, G.A. Briggs, Harold Beveridge, Amar Bose, David Reich, Decca London (yes I know...), Julius Futterman, Ed Meitner, Stefan Kudelsky, Stan Curtis and the one without whom nothing would never have been at all possible: Nikola Tesla.
My two cents...
