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.

Hilde 45 ,   I was using the Quicksilvers with my Forte IV and they sounded great.  Those amps also drove my Heresy III , Revel  106 and  PSB M2  ....  they work great with just about any speaker.    

Thats the great thing about most QS amps, they can use any el34 or 6L6 type

My current favorite tube in those amps are the JJ 6L6 gc.   Great sounding tube.  

With speakers I usually only buy after an audition,  but I heard so many great things about these speakers I am going to take a leap of faith.   12 x 15 room, 40 watts of tube power should be perfect for a small system.  

Although these are for my 2nd system I fully plan on using them in my main system to.    Definitely want to hear them with my 300b amp too.  

Ii was trying to sell the QS but I changed my mind.   Where am I going to get a great pair of amps for the $1000 or so ?   Nowhere !    I'll be using my trusty Sonic Frontiers SFL 1 ,  a Vault 2i,  a RME adi2 DAC, and a Fanfare FTa1 tuner.    All stuff that was in the closet, not being used.    Finally a solution for all of my used gear.  

Oddiofyl the super alnico are unbelievably good. They pair well with 300B amp tubes.

@oddiofyl  Thanks for the elaboration. These remain on my list. There are some used for sale in my area, but they are bookshelves and I'm kinda done with bookshelves. I'm close to The Music Room and am keeping my eyes open for some horn speakers to try out. I'd love to try out the O/96's but they are not a speaker a dealer would likely let me try at home. 

I like both floor standers and bookshelf speakers. I miss not having a nice pair of stand mounts though. These should be perfect in the space they will be in

Will be interesting hearing  them in my main system too....
