from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors

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.

I removed four flat 2' X 4' absorption panels yesterday, and liked the results. The sound opened up a bit, and had more emotion. SOME recordings were slightly dry sounding with the panels in place. What I hope to accomplish is more natural sound, which a room being too dead can hinder. Room is 23 X 12 w/ 8ft ceilings, speakers set up on 12' (short) wall.
Sheet rock walls and I have two 4ft X 4ft older RPG-like wood diffusion panels stacked on one another in back/between speakers. Check out my photos on my system page (-:

Wood floors will give you that lively small club sound. I love it. rugs will help with resonace and they look good too!

Another quick detail. All windows are covered with curtains, but some also have thin ply with egg crate foam stuff glued to it. This is true with the rear windows seen in my photo.
Those absorption panels you see kitty cornered are still there. The four panels I removed yesterday are identical, but were on the side walls. In back of my listening position are several Ikea Expdedit racks full of records. I may take a few baby steps and remove the foam from the ply I have tacked to the window frame. Needless to say, this is a dedicated room(-:

Wolf: Yes- Rigatoni for the rear wall, but I find mixing in some stuffed rigatoni for first reflection is helpful for it's diffusion properties.
