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.

Only thing I’m not a fan of is that he changes designs all the time, so it seems. Although the last pair I had were the Omega Super 3XRS which have been around the longest.

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.
