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.

May be an opportunity for thrifty-shoppers to buy the last version from someone eager jumping right back on the treadmill for the "latest-and-greatest".

With someone like Fritz’ you do not see designs changing all of the time. "If it aint broke, don’t fix it" etc. I’d prefer to buy a proven aged design over time vs. one that keeps changing more frequently. Some take years/decades before the next release, with lots of up-front diligence and R&D.
