I've been using a CSi5 for a while, and while it performs great, its size makes it an aesthetic eye-sore in my set-up. (WAF hates it). It would fit better on my stand if I took the power ports off. Anyone have any luck doing this? What would the detriment to sound quality be?

    Hey just remember that if it comes to you having to get rid of it because the WAF hates it, just remember me.

    Removing the power port would drastically change it's sound. The power port is an essential part of how the CSi5 produces as much low and as it's capable of.

    I wouldn't remove it.
