Ed Vichur did not invent the bass-enclosure idea - he just popularized it. But good to mention the design.Richard Modaferri - because slopes of 48-60/db seem best, for most systems. He went steeper - but the idea took.
It's hard to pinpoint people - but Bell Labs for their pioneering work in horns - which other co. modified for the home. That's how why got Paul Klipsch.
Tannoy and Altec for creating pro systems - but are now called 'waveguides' and becoming very popular with audiophiles.
Linkwitz-Riley - I hate to say no, but this was a cascaded Butterworth. And then, it (appears) that a straight 2nd order slope was good enough. Until the 48-60/db slopes (w/ DSP) now coming out.
Roy Allison - not yet, as very few are doing corner bass. But Roy never touted the idea of putting subwoofers in (multiple) corners anyway - that came from Europe, but the name escapes me.
