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.

It is inspiring to see an individual hold their own in a crowded and complex field simply by designing and building products of great value, by hand, one at a time.

Yes. It's very inspiring. Bravo to those creative entrepreneurs.

One more comment -- just saw this on the cnbc.com financial website -- Ferrari's wait time for certain models now extends into 2025 and are very proud of this, and the extra profit it is generating for them. They are publicizing the backed-up demand for their cars as a way to create even more demand!  (And honesty on this point also has the benefit of creating realistic expectations in buyers who now can't accuse the company of taking their money and being slow to deliver.) 

I will add another regarding the sound quality. The OMEGA speakers for the price point to me, is way too low for what they sound like. These speakers are probably ignored because of the cheap price.

I am beginning to think that if you go for more affordable gear, simple designs like the Omega will compete with much more expensive gear. Baby Omega stand mounts with a SVS 3000 Micro sub is incredible sounding.

I compared a pair of the top line Rethm Saadhana ($16k Retail) to the Baby Omega and to my ears and others the Omegas were far better in every aspect.

Yes, I've heard they sound good. That's why I was concerned they were all sold out. All the time. I know better now.

A friend and tried his omega’s with three different Inspire amps. Kept the amps and resold his Omegas. What did Louis recommend to you otherwise...more power, or ...
