Personally, I think that it's simply a justification for peoples buying decisions to make them feel better about their purchase.It's not about making one feel better about their purchase. It's about the sound.
Until you've truly experienced brands that sounds cold, sterile, lean, thin, clinical, and bright (I have), you might not appreciate 'warmth'. ;-)
We need words to describe what we hear. If 'warmth' comes up a lot, perhaps it's a characteristic sound that many people enjoy vs the opposite.

The kind of thing that lead us down the wrong path in the past. I would respectfully suggest that we not reply to one another's posts.
And yes, in 48 years in the hobby, I have experienced cold, thin, hard and edgy sound and dislike it as well.
All the best,
Marty
I agree, there is no such thing as "neutrality" but since we have to describe the sound, 'warmth' isn't such a bad thing when you consider the alternatives we have both experienced. Good day.
So why don't audiophiles and reviewers use speaker types (for instance) to describe other speakers. A majority of audiophiles have probably heard LS3/5As, Quad 57s, Klipschorns, Large Advents. Why not descriptive terms like "Quad57ish in the midrange", or "Advent-like bass"?
