concrete vs. wood listening room


Since concrete is "dead" would I still need spikes to control resonance? What would my optimum set up be?

Room...concrete floor covered with thick carpet. Concrete walls covered with sheet rock.

System...tsm/mm`s, AA prima mk1 int. amp, cdp (undecided), wires (undecided).

Thanks,

Dick

I suspect spikes/no spikes will be the least of your worries...a concrete room is going to sound very different from what you are used to hearing with a wood stud/sheetrock arrangement; room modes at LF will be much stronger. Concrete may be "dead" but it reflects the acoustic energy all to well.
