Default If it ain't broke...just tweak it

I was just thinking about something odd today, there are a few historic speaker makers that have basically kept their launch speaker lines basically intact. They may have launched newer lines, or introduced a premire line, but they kept the originals around or updated them in someway, but you still know where they came from - here are the makers tha I've seen do this:

Definitive Technology - BP series - The winner of the Bipole War (Mirage being the vanquished foe - but they were great speakers too).

Wilson Audio - almost every speaker is a newer incarnation of their older ones

Klipsch - Heritage series 60 years old and still kicking'

Magnepan - always planar, always sweet

Martin Logan - ESL ... Excellent Sound Longevity

Ess Audio - The Heil tweeter patent expires and everyone jumps on board

B&W - 800 series ...nuff said

Do you guys know of any other speaker makers that have kept their original design concepts for a very long time and people still buy them? Goes to show ... They must have did something right the first time out !!!!

Let's chime in people!
