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


Sure, they may be pleasing to the ear, but don't non-transparent speakers (and other gear) represent presumptive editing--across the board, regardless of the musicians' intent?
Just a provocative thought.
Let's be nice to each other if this thread takes off.

Which speakers do you have in mind? Bose 901's? Klipsch Horns? Altec A7's? JBL 100's? These are all "colored" to some extent, yet have fans! Yes, a speaker with flatter frequency response and accurate phase will serve music better!
Who cares, if the warm/colored speakers cause/allow one to listen to more music. Even the musicians/producers/engineers win. Hard to pay more respect to anyone in the music business than buying their product.

Speaking of disrespect: How about the disrespect the artists/producers/engineers pay to their "potential customers" by releasing obviously bad sounding recordings? It's their product, so they can do what they want. But they might sell more product if the quality of the product was better. Maybe not, as the audiophile/aficionado community is such a small portion of the overall market for music. But why limit your potential market.
