I abhor unnaturally bright sounding systems - even if they "measure flat" and those slammng triple digit db levels. Neither is what I hear in a live, unamplified environment.
I do remember, however, hearing the Carmina Burana at the ASO in row C. The dynamics raised the hairs on my arms and literally startled me at times. That was loud, but literally for seconds at a time.

Maybe what you really abhor is bright recordings, which are not done in a mid hall perspective but usually with microphones up close. A system that tends to make many recordings less "in yer face" are often incorrectly balanced systems because many recordings are in fact made that way.
I always have problems when people talk about accuracy. Accurate to what?
Live concerts? I have heard many live concerts that sounded like crap. Anybodys definition of accuracy is still a subjective opinion. I just want a system I enjoy listening to, that gives me an emotional connection to the music. If someone thinks my system is accurate, fine. If they think it is colored, fine. I don't care. I heard three Magico systems at this years CES and I thought they sound wonderful. I have Maggie 3.6's and think they are the best. Whatever turns you on. Listening to systems at a show is very problematic. Try dialing in a system in a couple of days in a room you are not familiar with. It is amazing that some rooms sound good. I thought the sound at this years CES was very good. By the way a system that measures flat will more often than not sound bright. Especially when played loud
