What would Paul Hales have accomplished today??

I used to own a pair of Hales System 2 Sig's. For their time, i thought they were excellent. I once met Paul at one of the audio shows and we had a nice long conversation about the future of speakers; he had some intriguing thoughts. IMO, Paul was one of the better speaker designers around at that time, his thoughts about the art and science of speaker design were IMO somewhat ahead of their time.
I wonder what speakers Paul Hales could have designed IF he had continued in the speaker business. I have a suspicious feeling that he would have given the likes of Alon Wolf and Dave Wilson a real run for their money. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Any other speaker designer that comes to mind that had similar talent and left the business.
