Is "warm" a compliment or a criticism?


I have noticed that when some people describe the sound of equipment as "warm," they mean it in a positive way, while others seem to equate a warm sound with muddiness or lack of detail. What exactly does "warm" mean?

Better "warm" than "cold". Better slightly "warm" than hard, steely, over-detailed with pinpoint imaging, tiring over extended periods, etc.
