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 .
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.

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