I have generally found that guitars with bolt on necks, Taylor, Collings, have a stronger midrange response and not as rich or deep a bass as guitars with traditional, glued, dovetail joints, like Martins and Gibsons. Taylors do project very well, though. Maybe this has to do with the lack of glue in the joint or the extra density of the bolts and bolt anchors. I don't know. I just don't like the tonal balance.
