Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time?


I've always been curious about Omega speakers, especially because I have tube amps.

It seems that whenever I go to their website, most of their products have a SOLD OUT banner across the speaker.

Does anyone know the backstory with Omega? Are they a company in trouble? Why would a company be mostly sold out for most models, most of the time?

I ask this respectfully and with genuine affection for a boutique builder like Omega.

Small company high demand, i think most orders are custom by order, not stock

take a look at the list for Decware amps-waitinglist is about 12-18 months

OP omega is in good shape.Lois the owner at times , he has good sale, they don’t last long, they sold out, because they are very good speakers. Call Him he will be gladl to take your order. Very good guy. I have omega rs8 , and 3i...both makes music on tubes.

With Omega, their Instagram page is the most up to date in terms of custom speakers or one-offs that are ready to ship. I usually send an email message and Louis will typically respond with timelines and prices. If I remember, he was pretty busy during the pandemic and had stopped taking orders. One-man shop, but what a product he creates - worth the wait (if there is one).

Thanks. I previously bought from Salk and his website rarely lists things as sold out, and Fritz speakers don’t say this either. Nor does Ascend, another small maker.

I realize that a one person operation probably does not have the time/bandwidth to spend much time on their website, but the impression the website gives is that there’s no reason to pursue Omega.

I guess this is how he wants to do things, but for every custom order he takes now, there’s someone else out there who is just crossing Omega off their list.
