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

if you enjoy a live room lino, if you prefer a slightly more damped and controlled room then wall to wall. Lino will suck very little, same with the carpet.

If you are serious about your sound invest $40 for "MASTER HANDBOOK OF ACCOUSTICS", Fourth Edition by F. Alton Everest, McGraw Hill. Your ears deserve this investment and likely will eliminate some future equipment purchases.

good luck in getting the most
