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?

I would be more concerned with the ancillary equipment, ie
items that can be carried quite easily through a window or escape exit.

Do you really think a crack adict has a clue about speaker brands or models...that's funny.

If you want to dissuade someone, then make it look like it's not worth anything because the cabinet is painted/gouged/generally ugly. Your best bet would probably be in-wall/in-ceiling mounted speakers which aren't easily sold if ripped out...and a pain to pull out.

Hooking up to a shotgun is too "iffy".
Connect the string to your preamp's on-switch and have a P.J. Harvey CD ready in a player.
That should drop the vermin dead in their tracks...

When faced with the terrible prospect of meeting a burglar,
one could always use the Clint quote;

"Go ahead, make my day"

I personally would put beef pate all over his gonads and give him a question just before I let my 100lb of drooling rottweiler/German Shepherd mix think xmas has come around again,

'is she a biter, or a licker'?

Somewhere in all of this is some sort of variation on "speakers that disappear".

(Sorry, It's getting late and I couldn't resist.)
