Warmest speaker?

Correct, an exaggerated, over-extended/bloated /muddy midrange. This is "warm". As opposed to "cool" which is accurate/clean/FIDELITY to the musical image. Vandersteen are very warm, B&W's are warm. "Cool" speakers a very rare breed. Though i know of only one.

Wait! Let us guess...

I'll take a guess...Maya Angelou. She's a very cool speaker...in a warm kind of way.

Horses for courses really.
Their is nothing wrong with warm sounding speakers if you have a bright or cold sounding room.
If anything bright speakers will cause fatigue before warm sounding ones.
The bextrene coned speakers of the 70s were warm sounding and many people still love them.
Many others,myself included, are past that sort of sound,but these speakers[like the Spendor BC3]are still capable of excellent sound.

"bright speakers". I'll grant it that the Seas Excel are a bit on the "steely" "bright" side. But to my ears the musical image comes clearly through. With "warm" speakers , most brands are on the warm side, the musical image gets channeled with "baggage", so you get the music + "warmth" of the voice coil. Which the fatigue factor kicks in.
"let me guess..." You guys know what speaker I always "pump". But then you want to fight and argue the issue, instead of joining along with what does present music in FIDELITY.
