Default Acoustic sound changing due to soundhole pickup

I’m not sure if this belongs exactly here or it was discussed before. Sorry if that’s the case.

I’m curious, have any of you experienced this? I’ve noticed that the acoustic sound of my Avalon L25 is changing slightly when I put the Fishman Rare Earth Blend soundhole pickup in it. It’s not a major change in the overall tone, but still noticeable in the high mids and treble frequencies.
The top and bracing of this guitar has been modified buy a luthier to get a more even response on all frequencies. So as a result the top is highly responsive, maybe that’s also a reason any weight put on the top is changing the tone slightly?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
Christian
