I recently removed all the carpeting in the lower level of the house. We put wood=type flooring in all rooms except the living/stereo room which I painted the sub-flooring with gray garage paint. Put an area rug in the center and the sound is simply incredible. I think it was the gray paint, veils were lifted. No more wall to wall carpet for me!!!!
wall to wall rug or linolium floor with area rug?
I am completing a dedicated audio room, 13ft.X 23FT. I will be using Watt/Puppy 5.1's driven by tube amplification. Room treatment products, such as tube traps, will be utilized. MY question is, do I install wall to wall carpeting (with padding), or a linolium floor, with an area rug placed in front of the speakers? I feel that placing the speakers directly on the linolium, will give a more stable set up. All opinions welcomed. P.S. I will be using the puppy "paws" in both situations
