I can vouch that the "infront of a stero speaker" method works... at least it did for my Martin D-16GT. 9 hour work day in front of cranked Cerwin Vegas, and it was definitley a louder, more open and complex box. This may sound silly, but I had CD's in rotation that were in standard tunings and those where the band drops 1/2 step down. The guitar gets hit with different frequencies from the notes that otherwise do not get utilized much in 440. Sounds like hoodoo, but hey, something happened.

Nothing beats playing the thing though.
