@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.
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.

Excellent! oddiofyl I am happy for you. I went with figured walnut, because it was interesting without being too exotic. He's had a dark oak, and maybe a reddish wood that I've liked in his pics. I like to say, "research exhaustively, then decide impulsively." That bedroom system should sound great.

I'm the same way, I usually research stuff til it's discontinued. I asked him to quote me on a few different wood finishes. Ultimately I may just go with Macassar Ebony. I am super indecisive so getting as far as brand and model was half the battle. I have heard nothing but great things about Omega. I was looking for a smallish speaker that was sensitive enough for any amp to drive. Although its for a second system no doubt they will do some duty in my main system. They will be in a 12 X 15 room so it should be a perfect fit |
@oddiofyl In your smaller room I have to believe the Omegas will perform very well indeed. I use mine in a second system where the room is much larger and is open to the upper level of our home and with a 4wpc SET they generate wonderful rich sound with a spl that is more than adequate for the type of music I use these for.
