Flooring advice on basement listening room.

I have lived in a few homes with basements and have never had one yet that didn't eventually have a water leak of some sort.

Sonic considerations only, assuming a concrete floor, I feel carpet and pad is best. Basement water issues can be a concern due to leakage through walls or floor, plumbing leaks. 

Floor floor is cement now.

Best floor you can have to spike the speakers/stand with.
Just make sure your water proofed it if below ground level, and use a good quality underlay and wall to wall carpet as your floor covering.

I had a portion of the basement converted into a dedicated audio room. 2 3/4 sides have concrete walls, but the remaining 1 1/4 side, I installed double dry wall on both sides with Green Glue between them. I have carpet over concrete and it has worked great for me. Your wife will also love it.
@ghosthouse has mentioned about GIK panels - these will work great when placed properly.
