Does carpet deaden the sound too much?


I’ve always had my speakers on carpet, but alway feel my system could be a little more livelier. Is it the carpet that absorbs life out of the sound?

In my experience having my systems in 3 different rooms with different flooring throughout the years, the best sound comes from wood/tile floor with a thick rug in front of the speakers. A fully carpeted room sounds a bit dead but that can be resolved if diffusion is added to the ceiling and/or walls for balance. If the speakers are inherently bright then perhaps nothing is required to be done.
