TOTEM Sttaf removing mass loading

I am considering the purchase of a totem sttaf. They have been loaded with kitty litter by the owner. The owner says this makes shipping difficult, and even if removed there could be problems caused by left over kitty litter moving around in there. This worries me, I would like to be able to remove all of it and have an unbiased speaker. Does anyone have experience with removing mass loading from a Totem Sttaf speaker? Please explain how to remove mass loading. Please also explain if you believe that if you remove the mass it is safe to ship. Thanks.

While any improvement in sound is ultimately subjective, I have owned Arro, Staff and Forest. ALL of them clearly benefited with mass loading. And this improvement was audible not only to me but to audiophile friends of mine, as well as my non-audiophile wife and kids. The benefits far exceeded what I was able to accomplish with tweaking speaker placement or even speaker cable upgrades.

And I agree that while taking the loading material out is a bit of a hassle, it should not be particulalry challenging.
