Is "warm" a compliment or a criticism?


I have noticed that when some people describe the sound of equipment as "warm," they mean it in a positive way, while others seem to equate a warm sound with muddiness or lack of detail. What exactly does "warm" mean?

Too much of anything is always a bad thing. If something is too warm, most anyone won't like it. Personally, I like a warmer sound. But, that's just me. Depends on what type of sound you like. I usually take it as a compliment.
I agree. It's all a matter of perspective.

I like women with curves, but I know some guys that like women with "boyish" figures. I don't get that at all, but to each his own.
