I just bought a 214ce-N a couple of days ago and have been playing the heck out of it since. I thought it was kind of quiet too-compared to some classicals I played. However, now it seems to have livened up some. I notice when it first comes out of the case it is subdued, but after 15-20 minutes it comes alive. The only other cross over I could find in my area was an Ovation. It was really quiet unplugged and the tone wasn't very good in my opinion either. Then again it was ~ $500 cheaper too. I have played other Taylor nylon strings that I thought were really quiet too-then others that weren't. I guess it just depends.................... I am happy with mine - love the neck and playability.
