I am an objectivist mainly. And that is because over the years specifications have been something I have paid attention to when buying equipment.
Amps should have very little distortion. Speakers should have good dispersion characteristics. The frequency response of speakers should be fairly flat.
It seems to me that the term "warm" gets used for equipment or systems that have a sound that may in fact be colored. I want my system to faithfully reproduce music, not to color the sound. However, I do tweak the frequencies just a bit sometimes with an EQ to make it just right, at least for my ears. And I know that my Speakerlab 1's have a fairly flat response since way back when I had an EQ with a pink noise generator and a mic and after the process of using that the only slider that was not at zero was the 32 Hz, because those speakers have an 8" woofer.
I would be happier using the term "full sounding" instead of warm. Something that envelopes you.
Thoughts? Not trying to start a war here. It seems that I am somehow asking about a sacred word. One that must never be questioned in any way...
