In general Vandersteen, ProAc Response, Spica, and Meadowlark speakers when driven by tube electronics are rather warm speakers. The warmest speakers that I have owned are the Odyssey Audio Loreleis. I am listening right now and they are sweet.
had to chime in here on drewfidelity comment on meadowlark and tubes. as an owner of meadowlark kestral 2's and tube amp i certainly do NOT hear any bass rise in the range associated with the vague term 'warmth'. they are smooth and musical but hardly warm. i think some clarification of terms is in order. i've owned vintage jbl 2 ways that were warm and many older polk models tended to have a 'warm' sound but the meadowlarks are nothing like them in that 80 hz range. most mid fi spkrs are 'warm' imo but lots of people go for that effect. it covers up a poor design and resonates to create a fuller sound. i'll get off my horse now
