I've found that warmth is added by cutting the frequencies that get in the way. There is no set frequency. If you have a graphic, start at around 400 and start by cutting it way back. Move it up until it sounds good - whether that end up being a cut or a boost doesn't matter. Then move your way up through all the frequencies.

You'll find that things sound better when you get rid of the offending frequencies instead of trying to boost the good one. Compensate for the loss of volume by turning it up some.

6 - T39 3012LF
4 - OT12 2512
1 - T24
1 - SLA Pro
2 - XF210
