Herve Delatraz from Dartzeel for his discovery of the subtle tiny overlooked details that are required in layout of a circuit to produce one of the best sounding amps of the world. It took him decades to design it and I would love to hear more about his empirical methodology.

David Wilson of Wilson Audio for being able to not only make great speakers but to be forward-looking to the degree that he has demonstrated. I would love to meet such a deft businessman who has made it in such a fickle field.

Being a bit of a history nut,I'd like to have met the guys from the old days. The ones that come to mind are Avery Fisher,Saul Marantz,Henry Kloss,and Manfred Schroeder.

And I almost forgot Thomas Edison.
