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? Pubul57  (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 03-01-08
