Fresh Blood in HiFi: Meet the Poised and Energetic Mind Behind Chesky Audio

(February 26, 2026) One of, if not the youngest, designers currently stepping into the two-channel spotlight is Lucca Chesky. At just 18 years old, his first commercial release, the LC1, put his company on the map. Now we have the follow-up in Chesky Audio's LC2, an ambitious evolution that's generating serious buzz. What makes this story compelling is not just the product, but the pace and willingness to break from norms. In a short window, Chesky has gone from early prototypes to a growing production operation, all while carving out a design language built around 3D printed cabinets. Yes, you read that right... 3D printed cabinets.

During a recent interview at the Florida International Audio Expo, we dug into how that progression happened, what sets the LC2 apart from the original LC1, and why Chesky's engineering approach differs from the norm. We also talk about the technologies inside Chesky Audio speakers, the musical background shaping Chesky's voicing decisions, and the experienced industry veteran quietly offering guidance behind the scenes. You might even get a glimpse of the original Chesky Audio prototype speakers forged and tested in Princeton Labs.
