from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors

It all depends upon the other surfaces (walls, ceiling, etc.) that you have. If they are reflective, I would keep the wool rug in place....

You don't say how your system currently sounds. Are you having a problem, or is this just something you're thinking about? In most cases, people prefer carpet over hard wood floors. Also, berber is probably a bit more reflective than traditional carpet. I feel its somewhere in between.

I've read a fair bit on room acoustics and balance can be one key. So I might agree with RW, what are your other five major surfaces like in terms of absorption/reflection?

But Zd542 asks the most basic question - do you have problems now or are you just restless to change something?

One point I've read from several sources, wool is one of the best absorption materials. It is better than most any synthetic. So your berber with thick pad would seem to be a good choice as part of the desired absorption percentage.

I stuck "vibra pods" under my speakers on wood floors and they sound amazing...this was after decades of spikes, and it seems that some high end speakers come with what they call "decoupling" dampers so there could be a trend away from spikes...for room treatment you can also try buying thousands of pods and stick them all over your walls and ceilings, but I find that hurling large amounts of freshly cooked pasta against the walls works well, although you have to keep at it as it dries out and falls off.

Well, if you cook the pasta al dante, of course its going to fall off. And you're probably using spaghetti, or something else really smooth. If this was for dinner, that's one thing. But for audio, you need to get a rough pasta like rigatoni, and over cook it. That way you have more surface area to work with from the ridges in the noodles and over cooking it means more drying time, which allows for better bonding.
