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 had a nice conversation with Louis today and I took a leap of faith and ordered a pair of Super Alnico Monitors .    Haven't decided on finish , I will give that some thought this weekend. 

I wanted a different speaker  than anything I've had in the past.  It will be used with a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos in a second system.    I also wanted something that will also play nice with my 300b amp too. 

 

@oddiofyl   I think you will be pleased.  Be patient.  Delivery will probably be later than promised.  Explore different veneer options.  Louis can do virtually anything you want.  He likes to try veneers out of the ordinary.  I love my monitors in Padauck.  After one year they have darkened and are richer and more beautiful than ever.  

Suggest you upgrade the binding posts to Cardas CPBP along with some Neotech internal wiring.  Just finished that upgrade myself and find it was well worth the modest cost.

Thanks Corelli,  I’m still hung up on what finish but it will be awesome no matter what I choose.   Problem is when I look at his gallery and instagram pics I can’t decide.    I’m terribly indecisive.  Can’t go wrong, all of his speakers look great. 

I have a full system, minus speakers.  It is all the gear displaced from two years of upgrades.   This will be a bedroom system so my initial budget was $1000 .   After looking at the Super Alnico Monitor I decided to double the budget given that I had zero out of pocket for amps , pre, tuner, Vault 2 , REL sub….   I had everything but the speakers.   Hopefully it will gel together for a nice small system.  
 

Can’t wait to pick them up. 

@oddiofyl As a QS owner, I'll be very curious about your thoughts regarding the speakers. I'd also be interested in trying Fyne, Tannoy with my QS. Have you tried horn speakers? My fave tube is the KT77 on my QS, and that is partly driving my interest in Omega.

 

Omega speakers are simply wonderful. They adore high quality SET amps and sources. They are certainly an exercise in patience during break in! Louis is great to chat with and if you move forward you receive a gorgeous looking and beautiful sounding speaker by a passionate artisan.
