Top Audiophile companies over the last 60, or so, years..your choices?

There are, thankfully, several great ones.  My first thoughts include:

Audio Research
Magnepan
Conrad Johnson
Vandersteen

And you can add others.  Some more "mainstream" companies that have added much:

Sony
Pioneer 

I am sure others will have much to add.  And these are a person's opinion, 
no wrong answers or posts to put down please.

Thanks Erik, all good additions.  I have been lucky enough to own 7 of the brands you mention.

One that I and two friends dearly loved was Dahlquist.

Yes, Advent and the remarkable Mr. Kloss.  I watched an old video tape format of Blazing Saddles on the first prototype of the VideoBeam in the Drake Hotel an evening of CES. 
The early days of "hi-fi" had some......ahh, unusual personalities at the helm.
