I have hardwoods with thick wool carpet in the center. Your room will get more live. Add more treatment to tone it down to your liking. Let the wife help you pick out the colors and designs. She'll love it.
best floor in listening room
My listening room is typical...walls are painted dry wall, 9-foot ceilings, a couple windows, fireplace and a couch or two. Currently the floor is carpeted but my wife would like a wood floor. I am concerned about adding another hard reflective surface to the listening area. Any thoughts?
