Mostly I lean towards 20th Century composers, many who don't necessarily get accepted as "classical", but certainly aren't making "popular" music either. John Cage being my hands down favorite, but also Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Harry Partch, Ligeti, Pauline Oliveros, Arvo Part, Bartok, the Futurists, Walter/Wendy Carlos (both as composer and interpreter), Ornette Coleman (he wrote some really cool string compositions in the '60s!), the Kronos Quartet (I've learned much from who they choose to play.)
The line where classical and experimental meet is a favorite place of mine.
