Help Bass changes from carpet to marble floor?

How does bass response change from a carpet floor to a marble/tile floor? I am relocating to Europe, so wondering what to expect. My speakers are Audio Physic Yara (downward firing bass mounted on a stand). The current listening room size is 20x10 and the new one will be about 22x11 feet.

I have been debating on adding a sub-woofer to get a "little" more bass extension. I am not looking for hard hitting bass but something warm that just fills in. I am looking at the ACI Titans or Force and they are much cheaper here than Europe. Hence, I want to make a decision before I move.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't buy a sub that you can't test in your room. Period. Wait till you get to Europe.

(Which is probably good advice for any system change--give a listen to that marble floor before you decide to do anything.)

The above responses are right on target. Also, keep in mind that if your system sounds best on a carpet, just buy yourself a piece of carpet whin you get there. I lived in
europe for several years--my 'base' was in Paris. Hey, you are going to
europe---don't worry so much about us A'goners---get a life and
ENJOY!

So many places, experiences joys....don't worry about your music. My suggestion: unless you are going for more than a year or two, leave your music behind and get out and live.
