Good analogy Audphile1! You just described the difference of most Samsung TV’ s( over saturated colors) vs the better Sony & LG’s. They have a blacker background & more realistic colors which can be very similar to a really good, natural sounding sound system vs a lesser one. This is often but not necessarily associated with cost either. I think we’ve all heard nice sounding, pretty high resolving systems for very reasonable $ but If you want a system to sound good & fill a big room w/ a big sound stage, deep tight bass & play loudly & dynamically, that costs a lot more. .
