Has anybody Cryo'd their complete amp-results?
I don't think that you will find any cryo company that would guarantee to fix parts damaged by cryoing process. I think that would be like asking a doctor to guarantee that you would come out of surgery 100% of the time. You know when you go under... 
Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ?
