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?

I've always wanted to hear VMPS speakers. They're a little too expensive for me, though.
Is VMPS an acronym and if so, what does it stand for?
Dan D Agistino for pioneering american solid state,Mathew Bond of taralabs for his contributions for cables.
VMPS speakers were certainly unique. It was a sad day when we lost Brian Cheyney.
