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?

Old Sansui speakers don't look like much but I understand some of them sound pretty good. May need refoaming etc. but you should be able to pick a pair up cheap if you can find someone local selling some.

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.
