@paulcreed,
"That’s not what I’m looking for. I grew up in New Orleans going in little jazz clubs with maybe 10 or 30 people in there with all acoustic instruments no microphones no board only the acoustics of the room, and hope it’s a good room. Maybe a better word is I’m looking for natural or organic tones on the warm side."
Yep! Understanding completely what you want, organic, full bodied tone and instrumental weight and warmth. Nothing to do with "syrupy".
I share a similar background as you. Many years attending intimate jazz venues and hearing acoustic instruments up close and without microphones (Unnecessary in the small clubs). Doing this for 30 years has definitely left an imprint 😃.
It's very difficult for audio components to reproduce that genuine dynamic full warm tone of those live instruments. However some very good tube components come closer than other alternatives in my opinion.
