AXPONA 2025 High-End Audio Show Report By Dr. Michael Bump

Room 915   Chesky Audio And Benchmark Media Systems
Lucca Chesky has what we call in the pan culture of Trinidad & Tobago, "the Jumbie" – a nagging spirit possession of both body and soul, in this case, tirelessly pursuing the need to create music and dance. Son of eclectic composer, musician, and recording engineer, David Chesky, Lucca stands of his own accord as a young, vibrant entrepreneur, with the audio world taking note of both his business savvy and innovative 3D speaker design processes, the results of which have presented critical listeners with an impressive and budget-friendly transducer, capable of shining in practically all levels of fine audio systems.

Paired with Benchmark Media Systems electronics, designed by Allen Burdick, the room demonstrated a perfect synergy. The Chesky LC1 bookshelf monitors (postured on floor stands) offered a presentation reflective of full-range high-end floorstanders ten times the cost.

A personal conversation with Lucca to secure a future review pair for Enjoy the Music.com also revealed design work on a pair of full-range floorstanding speaker. Definitely keep an eye (and ear) out for this young man! A deserving a Best Of AXPONA 2025 Blue Note Award winner!
