Tube Amplifiers

The designer knew he wanted to acquire powerful vacuum tube monoblock amplifiers, with the bench performance of a modern solid state amplifier, and requiring no user adjustments (other than replacement of the tubes). 

He also wanted the vacuum tubes to be completely exposed so one could enjoy the (considerable) visual beauty of these wonderful devices.  Moreover, the cosmetic appearance of the designs at that time was unattractive, with their cheap sheet metal construction and "pro-audio" styling.  Frankly, when he looked around, no one was building what he wanted.  

So, he was motivated to design and build them himself.  Thus, the inspiration behind Bellgrove Fine Audio.
