From a UK perspective, what about the BBC greats? I'm going to miss people out, but Dudley Harwood, Spencer Hughes and colleague/boss D. E. L. Shorter (to my shame I know little to nothing about this latter man, but his name comes up so much on BBC research papers).
Did anyone mention Arthur Radford? His valve amp designs were the high end of the mid 60's. Tim de Paravicini is a current UK based designer who's 'done' some excellent work for Musical Fidelity and others and seems easily able to work with both solid state and valves to high level depending on the market need.
Another UK designer of note - John Wright, known mainly for his IMF/TDL transmission line cabinet designs and I think he also designed the Goldring G800 cartridge line in the late 60's (I need verification on this though)
What about the Schiit guys? They've shown they're now more than up to lifting their electronic design and product game to the highest level and going out on a limb with their novel turntable and arm which I hope gets production-sorted at some point if not already. (Wasn't at least one of the company owners a major part of Theta?) -
