I've heard the F32's with tubes and I didn't hear sterile. I did hear un-involving compared to other speakers.....
I owned Revel Studio 2's for 2 years and ended up replacing them
with Magnepan 3.7s which I still own after 5 years.
It sounds like you are after a more musical, involving presentation.
In that same price range, I would audition the Ryan 620. I've heard
it at the shows and I believe it is everything Revel isn't.....

If you stay with the Revels, and want warmth......you're also going to need enough juice to drive an 86db efficient loudspeaker.
My first candidate would be the Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated....
