Music is a combination of many frequencies all occurring at the same time, whereas a frequency sweep just does one frequency at a time. Hence you can have equipment that measures flat with a frequency sweep, but actually isn't with real music. This seems to be more obvious at the bass end, where the power supply simply runs out of steam, and the effect is not unlike putting a bigger/smaller power amplifier in the system.
