From pause to stop in two emails. I informed Yvonne of the obvious. I couldn't proceed with and finalize the assignment until their app had been updated. I also mentioned the very noisy power supply. Her answer was unexpected. "We much appreciate your opinions and questions about our Tornado Wifi amp. It made us aware that this kind of IT-oriented amp is not suitable for the classic amplifier market. We hope to arrange another product for review around October. This will be a tube-type amplifier."

I assured Yvonne that the assignment wasn't cancelled, just on hold. After all, we don't bow out of commitments once we've made them. But she insisted. Her company wanted to recall the amp regardless. Perhaps I'd indeed been approached just a bit prematurely? With apologies to those readers who've followed along this far, this became the rare review without a proper conclusion. Hi-Pro are an ODM/OEM specialist with a 4'000sqm ISO 9001 certified factory who launched in 2005 and today sustain a team of 60 employees. No longer content to just labour quietly behind the scenes like a ghost writer who pens a book whilst another gets all the credit, with the Tornado line Hi-Pro mean to make a name for themselves under their own flag. The plan had been to use our pages for this introduction. Not every plan works out as anticipated. Perhaps the Tornado Smart Amplifier would have been the more suitable model to get started with at least for this writer.
