A person I would like to thank/mention in the history of the high end,

Many would think of Henry Kloss, Saul Marantz and many other people that have added much to the wonderful world of great audio equipment.  A person that has had much impact on several systems I have owned and enjoyed is Nelson Pass.  So a tip of the glass of holiday cheer to you, Mr. Pass.....thanks.

Neville Thiele and Richard Small who changed speaker design from guessing to a science and vastly moved development forward and made it more accessible.

Cutler (Bell Labs) who pulled together many of the concepts necessary for sigma Delta ADC and DACs including noise shaping which eventually lead to the far better studio ADCs (and most DACs made today).

Toole for relentless pursuit of what really matters in speakers and has likely influenced most modern speaker designers.

John Mullin who took German WW2 basic magnetic tape technology and "perfected" it to create a giant leap forward in audio recording capability.

Dolby for professional noise reduction.
