Concrete or Wood floor in listening room?

I'm thinking about building a listening room. It will be a concrete slab. I'll be using carpeting in the room. Should I put plywood down on the concrete first or just carpet over the concrete?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm more interested in the sound quality of one versus the other rather than building practices. Boss302, My gear is a digital front end to tubes to horns. Thank you all

The floor I am planning will be cement, if it is just as good as a well constructed sub-floor why add wood over cement??? Mike
