There's a neat thing called "tone controls" that for generations have been available to allow consumers to tailor the sound to their preferences.
The easy no-brainer is to select romantic music to play ;-)
Much simpler than turning your stereo into an effect box.

I haven't found tone controls to deliver anything in particular.
I assume the first replies would be lots of 2nd harmonic distortion.
The question certainly isn't for me to answer. I'm sure lots of tube guys could chime in.

Perhaps no one here has been to an audio show either. It's not unusual to hear a stereo leaning on the sound almost like candy because it's so overly strangely sweet.
Given how popular Pass FirstWatt is around here, I find it nearly impossible to believe no one has differing opinions on things they do.

Romantic is the tale-telling part of which you are contributing along with another soul, finding the path towards 'coinciding of opposites' (coined by Joseph Campbell).
Whatever the means, Prelude a l'après midi d'un faune (Debussy), or, Pavane pour un infante defunte (Ravel) will suffice in classical settings, but Nick Drake will surely invoke a whirling experience.
Considering this forum and its main participants, I'd better learn from 'the yonder shore', eager and longing, with grace and respect.

But what is ' romantic' sound, if not the music?
If it is the music, why bother with the amp?

My wife's answer would be if I sold every last bit of audio gear in the house.
I agree the question is ridiculous. I actually listen to my "Coltrane for Lovers" CD quite a bit, and I cannot imagine a way to enjoy it other than neutral reproduction.

True. Maybe there is a technical argument to be made...must not cross over from mid to woof in the midst of a baritone's range 😀

I used to work in radio, and we got tons of records each week from the various labels. Most of which never got any play. One record I really liked, just for the cover:
"Music to listen to records to"
"Music to listen to records to"
is in the OPS.
