THE NAME RINGS A BELL

摘要

Founded in 1975 in South Korea by Mr Keun-Bae Lee, Kwangwoo Electronics was manufacturing vacuum tube components such as plates, cathodes and grids for the gigantic Samsung company before setting up a separate audio department in 1991 dedicated to producing high quality valve audio amplifiers. The brand name chosen for its hi-fi amplifiers was Emille (pronounced em-ee-leh), named after a 20-ton bronze bell located in Kyungju city, 60km from the company's factory.
