Is there a tube amp that completely encloses the tubes without vents?

Without vents of any kind? That would make heat management kind of difficult.

There are a few. I'm listening to a hybrid amp right now that has the single 12AX7 inside the chassis. Any low speed airflow through it with headphones plugged in keeps it cool, even while running Class A (no headphones and a lot more of the energy running through it ends up as waste heat).
