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?

One challenge with the LS50 is that the Elac UB5 is very similar sounding for a fraction of the price...albeit without the cool factor or build quality.  

The LS50s are mostly a single point source and that is an improvement over the BBC type monitors, especially near field. 

LS50s are bass shy and are a little hot in the upper mids...which can cause fatigue and eventually a breakup.
