Add Cary Audio to the list. Dennis Had founded the company and was the company for many years. He was the one who made single ended tube amplifiers popular. He designed all the tube amps in Cary's current line but often said he had no idea how to design a solid state piece. He brought in new investors as he headed towards retirement and they basically pushed him aside. Dennis was a fine tube designer, but Cary no longer even does new tube amp designs. Their new designs are solid state and are manufactured in China.
Another one of the pioneers whose company has really changed its focus. Of course, his designs are hard to improve upon.
