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.

And no company makes a natural sound. Only top audiophile company is Wavetouch audio which makes a cleanest fatigue free natural sound. ML 23 was one of bests decades ago and still it is very good being closest to Wavetouch audio.
