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.

Salk has a section on their website, Speakers Available Now, there are no speakers listed...
