Awhile back I asked the Anachrophile himself, Ken Kessler, this same question. Here is the relevant part of his reply (kvetching deleted);
“...Modern classics? Audio Research Ref 6 and Ref 75SE, Wilson Alexia, possibly the KEF LS50, SME 20/12, the Nagra CD player, etc - there are plenty of candidates but little interest...”
Personally, I think the LS50 is a no-brainer classic. Surprised that there’s even a controversy about it.
