I am particularly amused when I see it applied to components from which the audio output, to my ears, is ANYTHING BUT "warm".
Case in point, the 22** series of "Marantz" (i.e., Superscope -- Saul & his team had nothing to do with those monsters) receivers.
I think it's just the Rococo cosmetics of those components that hoodwink their fans into thinking that they sound... good.
Heck, I use vacuum tube power and preamplifiers, and I wouldn't consider them at all "warm" sounding -- they just make reproduced music sound like... music.
;-)
all the best,
