I currently own the NAD M2 and as much as I really like it, I would never consider it warm, technical would be a better way of describing it. My front end is digital so it meets my needs just fine. If I was using a TT, this is an amp I wouldn't buy.
Many years ago I owned a Bedini 25/25 and that is an amp I regret selling. It was what I considered warm in sound but hot to touch. Class A power meant a lot of heat!
When I was thinking of selling my M2, my thought was to go towards NAIM for that warm sound. In the end I thought there was nothing really wrong with the M2 and it sounds great with my Harbeth 30.1.
My favorite thing about the amp is I don't need a separate DAC. My system looks nice and clean, very minimalist.
Good luck with your search.
