You may get many responses to this question, but I would not worry and just figure out what your ears and mind like! Klipsch are often referred to as "bright", but to me I like this very realistic sound, as if I am in the front row of a concert, or the "in your face" of a good action movie. You may or may not like this type of sound, so just listen for yourself and follow what you like, not worring about what the label (bright/warm etc.) is attached to the speaker.
