Setups vary wildly, and sometimes the folks at the top-tier performing situations end up with approaches that the average player simply isn't going to use.
Similarly, on the string side of things, one of my friends has a violin setup that I would term "aggressive" and I think that up close to the ear the majority of people would not find the sound all that attractive. In the context of their string quartet though, it works brilliantly (for context--his ensemble has grand prizes at Fischoff and Naumburg and are faculty at a major US conservatory). We notice that many players tend to prefer violins that are "dark" and warm-sounding up close, but especially in less-expensive instruments that doesn't translate into the kind of projection one would need to fill a 2000-seat concert hall. What the audience hears out in the hall is completely different from what is coming out from the perspective of the player.
It certainly makes selecting instruments (and related equipment) an interesting process, and I know my students are sometimes curious as to what informs my decisions when trying instruments since my criteria can seem so different than theirs.
