I think my 7106 is fairly warm sounding, especially when compared to an ATI. The yamaha gear is Class A rated when in class A mode and is amazingly warm sounding. The problem is that the klipschorns are not at all warm. I've had Anthem, B&K and now a Sherbourne 7010 in my system. All are very musical but not warm.
Have you looked at the Cary? Most likely out of your budget. You may want to start running a dual system with 2 pre's (1 for theater, 1 for music)? You could also consider having a pre modded with tubes for the R&L channels but that's pricey too.
On a good note, anything will be warmer than the Yamaha RXV.
