For example; a microphone with a lot of presence going through a system with a deficient high end will sound better than a duller sounding microphone, however, in a properly tuned system, the duller microphone may shine as the mic with a lot of presence appears to be very harsh/piercing.

Hardly unexplainable, but usually unexpected, especially when the cheaper mic sounds better because its making up for a deficiency in the (usually cheap) sound system.
