Well, to me there is a problem with this whole notion. I mean, different instruments will their produce their signature timbre at different frequencies. Is this not correct? Wouldn't a flute's timbre be reproduced at a higher frequency than a cello's?
If this is the case, then I'm not sure it's wise to go for speakers traditionally considered to have a "warm" sound, because that may entail being rolled off in the high frequencies, which might auger against the ability to accurately render the timber of a flute or piccolo.
It seems to me that one should look to acquire speakers with the most accurate response over the widest frequency range. Now, if one only listens to a certain type of music, say for example, chamber music, then it might be possible to pick a speaker based on it's abilities in the associated frequency range.
