Rethm Trishna:
Made in India and designed by architect Jacob George, the crossoverless Trishna has a rated sensitivity of 96dB, a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and measures 39" H by 6.6" W by 14.4" D. A top-mounted horizontal cylinder accommodates the speaker’s 5" paper-cone driver and rear-wave horn, while a sealed isobaric bass chamber holds two 6.5" paper-cone woofers, these powered by a solid-state FET amplifier at the speaker’s base. Despite its elevated upper midrange and inability to play loud, the Trishna had a compelling and immediate sound, with lots of low-l Level detail, exceptional resolution, and clean, tight bass, said ST, adding “Amazing how Rethm can “wrest” (heh, heh) such smooth and relatively uncolored sound from a single full-range driver.” The appeal here is coherence, a purity of sound that ST ascribes to a full-range driver. Best for smaller rooms and moderate listening levels, he cautions. (Vol.34 No.7)

f one wanted to merely approach their imaging qualities, midrange resolution and tonal truthfulness, one would have to spend at least $5,000 on a pair of stand-mount monitors of very high quality. Those simply would not thrive on a 2-watt triode like the Trishna. Nor would they offer the same high speed, extreme articulation and full-range bass. Jacob George has thus upheld his end of the bargain – of cutting the price of his award-winning Maarga by 40% whilst keeping almost all its musical qualities save for a little tonal density in the lower midrange, some harmonic richness in the upper bass and some level of punch. Although five grand aren’t cheap by any account, his Trishna offers all of those qualities in a small-room friendly and living-room compatible package that you can even audition at retail stores around the world. Hence I am granting the Trishna a Realsization award - not only because it offers so much for its price but because it is refreshing to identify a designer who has worked so hard at keeping his creation accessible to the largest number while sacrificing so little to the pressure of cost constraints. Doing all that and being able to get by with a happy 2 watts is the cherry on top.
