Maribel by Kroma Atelier
Last weekend’s Audio Video Show 2025 in Warsaw saw the launch of Kroma Atelier’s most incredible speaker yet: the towering Maribel.
Javier Millán has been building speakers and audio gear for fifty years, since age 14. Less a lab engineer and more of a craftsman with music coursing through his veins, he chases a natural, human sound and tinkers until he can feel it. His son has watched and absorbed this obsession since he was a toddler, and today Javier Millán Sr. and Jr. work together as the dream team that defines the brand.
Maribel is what happens when you let these two not just imagine the ultimate speaker, but build it together without constraints. It is a towering work of dreams that embodies the totality of Kroma’s love affair with music.

Callas
Naturally an unconstrained project like Maribel comes with an unconstrained price tag as well. This is where the Callas comes in. Many will remember this speaker from this year’s Munich show where it premiered, and it embodies the soul of the Maribel in a more accessible package. Javier compares the two speakers as follows: “They share a design philosophy and premium materials. We use the same AMT dual transducers, and the crossover components and wiring materials are the same. Both combine precision, a holographic soundstage, and a neutral signature.”
We are excited to showcase the Callas at the Audio Show Deluxe 2026!

Kroma Atelier have also introduced a fresh choice of coloured Krion for all speakers, offering a beautiful “uncoated” finish, though fans of the Aston Martin paint finishes can still request these. We look forward to receiving our Callas in Graphite, which we liken to the feel of a silver Apple MacBook.
