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.

I've known a few musicians, producers and engineers in my life. I've never heard any of them discuss the merits of the listeners speakers or environment. I think the only thing that is insulting to them are bootlegs.
One friend of mine who passed way invented a recording process called "hot tip stylusing". This allowed more tracks to be squeezed onto an LP. You can thank him for some or many of the low quality LP's you may have. I told him "I don't think a Japanese engineer would have approved of his invention" He just stared at me. Nope, they just want to get paid. Joe
