Usually the way this comparison is done is to use a microphone with a known frequency response to make two recordings of the same audio from each set of speakers using broadband set of test tones (or broadband noise), and to compare the two resulting recordings in terms of their frequency response. It's very similar to how you'd test the frequency response of a filter.
However, even with knowing all of this, you also now know that your own ears have a frequency response which is not linear across the entire audible band. This is part of why you might like adjusting the "equalizer" settings to increase the low + high tones but give you less of the mid-tone audio.
I just can't find a way to quantify compare or contrast them.
You could, if you really wanted to... I'm just not sure it would tell you what you want to know.
