Shortening the scale length makes it easier to 'bend' the string pitches, and, by the same token requires more compensation on the average for them to play in tune. There may be less power in the upper partials, so the sound might be more 'fundamental', and not as 'crisp' as some have said, but a great deal depends on how the guitar is made.

...i feel that there is some loss of volume with shorter scale guitars...one result of the decreased tension...you might ask how can a guitar lose volume that it never had to begin with?...what i mean to say is that all else being equal a longer scale instrument is capable of producing more volume...partly due to the fact that you can play it more aggressively...partly because the same attack on a higher tensioned string will produce more volume...i base this observation on the fact that most of my guitars i own and have owned are either OM's or 14 fret 000's which share a similar size and shape but differ in scale length...the OM's are consistently louder...

yes, you have to put more energy into moving a long scale which results in more energy, volume, out. But the nature of the sound is different as well. Not bad either way but different.
