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.

@lou_setriodes "Only thing I’m not a fan of is that he changes designs all the time, so it seems."

 

May be an opportunity for thrifty-shoppers to buy the last version from someone eager jumping right back on the treadmill for the "latest-and-greatest".

With someone like Fritz’ you do not see designs changing all of the time. "If it aint broke, don’t fix it" etc. I’d prefer to buy a proven aged design over time vs. one that keeps changing more frequently. Some take years/decades before the next release, with lots of up-front diligence and R&D.  

👍 I have passed on Omega in the past as well and left wondering  when the site says nothing available. They should really fix that if not the case.

@jl35 Hadn't seen that on Salk site. Of course, two bad websites don't make a good one. ;-) 

@jsalk 

usually the Salk website has 1 or 2 speakers listed as available, I’m guessing it’s not a website issue, but that mostly speakers are made to order...lots of small manufacturers simply cannot afford to have a storeroom full of gear waiting to sell...
