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?

Some engineers of note:

Sidney Smith (you can't list Saul without mentioning Sid!)
James Bongiorno (SAE, GAS, Sumo, etc.)
Bob Carver
Kevin Volks (Snell, Revel)
John Wright (IMF, TDL)
I can imagine the debates in the selection committe; it would make the Continental Congress seem like a picnic in the park.
