Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves?

Moving my painting & drawing studio (formerly our living room + den while the wife was at work) to a 14' x 24' metal barn and am basically looking for a pair of speakers with a sonic personality generally similar to a JBL Century 100 that I can pick up cheap at a rummage sale and run with a plain Jane 2 channel receiver. Preferably something that's a sleeper, soundwise, but which which, cosmetically, practically screams to a crack addict, "You probably couldn't even trade me for a six pack of beer." Any suggestions?

Soundolear. I don't know what they sound like, but they are built to look like a floor standing lamp, so the crooks will walk right past 'em.

Or maybe something like MBL, B&O or another isobaric design that dont look anything like a speaker that crooks are used to.

Panasonic Thrusters that K Mart used to sell.To be real though I would think a big and heavy pair of speakers would not be on a robbers list since it takes time and effort to move when they are wanting to be in and out fast to get the most goods one can carry.

You could always grab a pair of Wilson Sashas.The crackheads will think they are garbage cans,an no self respecting crackhead will ever steal a garbage can.Just a thought.
