Thinking about this a little more, classicals are so light to start out - as a guitar ages it can get dry out and become even more lightweight. As a result, it can be almost too resonant. I experienced this with a "real" 1897 Washburn parlor I owned some time ago - I loved the acoustic sound, but it was so warmed up that I couldn't mic it.......just way too bass oriented, which is obviously surprising for a parlor.
I'm sure an old classical with a cedar top could head down that road as well.
