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 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....

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.

I agree with you that I’m also not a fan of someone changing designs all the time either.  However, the Super 3XRS’s haven’t changed at all except to install a superior driver.  I had a pair of them a few years ago; they were quite nice.

 

The other pair of Omegas that I owned were an early pair of Grande 8’s in Sapele.  They were a rare pair of dual front port wide baffle speakers that Louis only made a few pair of, that he actually preferred to the later smaller front baffle speaker.  The wide baffle ones were more expensive to produce.
