The issues of amplification are difficult ones. As Augusto said, often sound
reinforcement is used to help to balance the sounds of the instruments. The
difficulty is that many sound people are either young and inexperienced
(meaning that they like it loud, and think everyone else does also) or older
and experienced (meaning that they've been doing it long enough to incur
hearing loss).
Good sound people are hard to find, and rarely get paid or appreciated as they
(we) should. Sound reinforcement is something that the audience doesn't
really notice when it's done right, but complains about when it's done wrong.
When was the last time you tipped the sound person at a small show to thank
them for doing a good job? ;-)
