Given the fact that Grand Auditorium is from Taylor ballpark, I'll assume that you're talking about something similar, Taylor or not.
I've owned both GA's and dreadnoughts (curiously, the only Martin I've owned was not a dreadnought). Dreadnoughts are built for power, GAs are built for versatility. Of course, any good guitar can do whatever you want it to do; but a dreadnought is at its best with people who want power and more bass, basically strummers and flatpickers. Grand Auditorium guitars are the perfect type of guitar for people who do different stuff, not just ONE style. For me, as a musician at church, they're the best guitar for church music, which covers many styles and variations of them.
