I don't find it gives me a warm sound, in fact the opposite. I get cleaner and tighter bass with more extension but instruments like acoustic double bass start to lose the 'woodiness' of their tone and can start to sound a little too 'tight' for me. I'm currently using it at 10% and I'm enjoying the clarity and extension but I have mixed feelings about the tonal impact on things like double bass. I may reduce the % setting a little more, or even disable it again.
I can hear what you are saying, on some tracks where the focus is in the lower midrange/upper bass, SAM has a "wired the speakers out of phase" feeling. Listening to Jacqueline Du Pre on the cello and I prefer it off for her.
