I think you could look at it another way. Although the measured effect of listening to classical music is temporary, the "boost" it gives you could be incorporated over time into a more intelligent lifestyle. Meaning, that if you consistently listen to classical music and then, say, specifically engage yourself in challenging mental activities, you could, over time, adapt to your daily thinking processes to that temporary boost, kind of like a "training wheels" effect.
I also think there would be a noticeable difference if you actually got to the point where you developed a real taste for it and cultivated your interest in it actively, as opposed to just using it as a "spot technique" to boost your I.Q. (I don't think there have been any studies to this effect, but if there were I'm pretty sure they would be revealing.)
I haven't really used classical music in this way, but this is definitely part of my approach to using sound and light machines. Although the results from LS, in a generic sense, may be temporary, I found on many occassions that using concentration frequencies can allow me to adapt my thinking more skillfully to a new area of learning, and once I stop using LS for that purpose, the learning/new level of thinking is still with me.
