'Warmth' is a tonal characterstic wherein the lower-MR--say below 500 Hz--and upperbass frequencies are slightly elevated. One could call it a rich bloom. It is not a description of hi-frequency levels. A friend has called it a slight emphasis on the 'power' region of the orchestra--basses, cellos, etc. I love a bit of warmth in my system, but too much turns into thickness, which is NOT attractive. Hope this helps. .
