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.

You miss the point entirely, which is that your pumping has little credibility because you do not own, nor have you ever owned the speakers you pump. If you had them installed in your system, your comments would gain considerable legitimacy.
Can't help but enjoy the comments on the Tylers in relationship to thier being 'cool' as suggested by Bartokfan.
Much as I enjoy mine for what they do very well, their being 'cool' is not one of them. A slight bit of warmth in the lower mids-upper bass w/o loss of resolution and a bit of emphasis I think (maybe its my electronics but I don't think so) in the mid/upper-mid range with out introducing brightness or edgyness). I'd love for someone to publish a set of graphs ala JA's in Stereophile, to test my aural accuity if nothing else.
