Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers?

Why do I picture Paul from PS Audio reading the headline of this thread like one of those write in questions he addresses on you tube?

In interaction with speaker makers, I see little of the predatory, sales only, mindset that some skeptics here have expressed.

I think the buyers are mixing up "Sales" with the "Manufacturing".

There are a few that sale direct to the public. The ones that don’t depend on outside sales.. Well they are salesman. They make a living doing it.. Sales could be Woody the used car salesperson or Edgar Perfect, "the all knowing" speaker sales person.. Your gonna get what they sell you, if your not careful. That is not the same as buying what you need or want. Sales people "spiel" don’t effect my decisions their pricing will.

Gear is 1/3 of the whole idea of Good Sound.. Unless you built a room for sound. Gear is 80% of the cost but 1/3 of the equation. Speakers take up 1/3 again with gear and cabling at 1/3 and 1/3. Not in cost but surely in effect..

As someone who spent many years working in recording studios, I can tell you that, in my experience at least, the final mixes of most music are a series of compromises made by the engineers to account for the many different acoustic environments the music will end up in.  Small speakers were used to simulate car audio, cassettes were played on boom boxes, and large in-wall monitors were usually only to impress the clients.  I don't think the idea is to have a final, accurate mix they want everyone to hear.  Just something that sounds good everywhere.  Audiophile lables like Chesky and MA may have a different method because they know their products are aimed at people with high-end systems, so they likely skip the boom box test. 

No.

Good point, chayro.   It's hard to believe that those who in good faith long for "transparency" or "musician's intent" go to many concerts, where the sound is different in every hall and in every seat within that hall, just as it is different in every listening room.  The obsession or belief in the sanctity of an artist's "intent" has been largely discredited (or despaired of answering) in literature, and to a lesser extent in drama and art--music seems lagging behind.  Many audiophiles (on this one and only this one) topic seem still to be struggling at the gate.
