Several vintage style hybrid-tube radios are being developed in China,
these radios will use IC front end and a tube output stage. Radio
cabinet is 50s style made of wood, you can find pictures in the VAL
group.

I tried the R801 prototype a few weeks ago, the sound is similar to
Grundig/SABA tube radios made in 1950-1960s, very transparent, warm
and powerful.

The R802 is an economic model with an IC output stage, however still
maintains the same tube like sound.
