Dear TAH,You disappoint me, is that really the only significant people you can think of?
Their "fame" is mainly based on the commercial success of their ideas and designs, is that really the most important measure you can come up with?
Whilst by no means wishing to demean the achievements of the people you mention, none of their products are anywhere near as ground breaking or original as you give them credit for.
Why not mention true innovators and contributors like, P. G. A. H. Voigt, Leo Beranek, Harold Beveridge, Phil Hill or Oscar Heil to mention some more individuals whose contributions to our understanding of aspects in the fundamentals of acoustics are far more significant and ground breaking?
Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
