The latest and greatest


Sometimes I see a new product (in this case speakers) that get lots of press and discussion only to see lots of them for sale a little later. 
Right now there are many pairs of Kef LS50s coming up for sale (both the regular and W versions).
Are these just a flash in the pan or just showing up on the market because so many have been sold?
In my mind there is nothing like a product that has stood the test of time. 
Am I just being a sceptic?

Interesting topic crwindy.  I am concerned that when my "legacy" gear wears out I will not be able to replace it and get the same performance.  Classe, Thiel, vintage CJ as an example.

The latest greatest doesn't always stand the test of time, or get the opportunity.  Manufacturers of high end gear is thinning out, and most of the survivors, in order to survive and even grow, are on high speed innovation programs.  They are training us to always look to upgrade.
