It is relatively easy to get warm without a lot of clarity.
Same thing (but a little more money) to get clarity with a lack of 'warmth'.
To have both? Takes big bucks.
Also I think part of warmth charm is the haze of age.. Back in the 50's warm was all there was..
Then came transistors...
And warm became rarer. But folks were OK chasing after neutral...
Nostalgia is partly the desire for a return to warmth.
Also neutral or clarity is just not enough to satisfy.
