"I agree with your opinion that a system that sounds different from recording to recording is probably more accurate."Kind of like a scale that is inaccurate (one pound is actually 1.1 lbs,) but measures changes in one's weight consistently.
Highly colored systems can show changes in mixing/mastering too. One way to guage if a system is reproducing the frequency spectrum accurately, is through measurement, which is tough for most of us to accomplish. Another way would be through some sort of master tape/live concert comparison. But then our short term auditory memory is not to precise.
I have four friends who have killer systems down here and I try and listen to as much of my music on them as I can. This can be eye opening once I get back to my rig.
