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.
@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. |
I should be hearing from Louis pretty soon. Have a new Integrated Amp and REL 10" sub that's been displaced from my main system to go with them. Should be a nice compact system. I'm using the tiny shoe box footprint Cyrus i7-XR and it is such a great little amp. Built in DAC and Phono , headphone amp .... sounds like a real HiFi amp should . Sounds good ! I ran it with my Fortes for a few weeks . Am using it with some 25 y.o. Sonus Concertos right now. Those things are real power hogs , 85 dB sens and this amp never sounds strained. Those 40 watts will go a long way with the S.A.M.s . |
