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.

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.

Can you share more?

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 ...

 

I know a local audiophile who sold his Harbeth speakers for Omega a couple of years ago. He went back to Harbeth. Doesn't take anything away from Omega but to suggest that they're ignored because of the cheaper price tag does not make much sense. No one purposely undersell their product ... usually the market decides :)
