Musical instruments themselves can have a have warmth characteristic also. Different woods used in a violin for example. It's not only tied to sound of an audio system.
J. Gordon Holt, founder of Stereophile, is the originator of subjective audio review and development of a consistent set of descriptive terms. Here is his audio glossary, including the subjective audio definition of "warm."
