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 called Louis over a year ago.  Long story short, he custom made me a pair of Super 7 MkII's in Padauk veneer to match my Erhard Ray SET.  It took several months.  I regret sending Louis a grumpy email on the delay.  After the speakers arrived and a brief listen, I sent him an apology for my email.  

These speakers are wonderful paired with a small SET.  The cabinetry, the  matched veneers are just beautiful.  Well worth the wait.  

Moral of the story.  You may not like his business model, but the loss may more likely be yours, not his.

@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.

@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.
