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 think he leaves many sold items up to show what he can do with different finishes etc. your over thinking this.

@glennewdick Maybe I am overthinking it. Thank you for helping me think correctly.

The posted "sold" speakers are examples of what can be ordered. I have a pair of his SAM monitors. He occasionally builds a pair to sell off his site but I wanted mine in a birdseye maple veneer. The work is excellent and the wait is not long for custom finishes.

I had the opportunity to buy locally a set of his SAM’s Super Alnico Monitors. I’ve owned dozens of speakers over the years and none of them had a sound stage as big and layered as the SAMS and I’m talking about speakers 10 times more money. Are they perfect no, but no speaker is. But if you’re looking for intimate, musical, and a huge enveloping sound stage you can’t do better for the money. Just don’t expect the smaller ones to do large scale music or rock concert levels. But that’s not what they are made for.
