Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ?

Hi ev1, HOW MUCH will I be expecting the sound quality be degrading if moving my Floorstanding SF Elipsa SE from downstairs (carpet on top hard cement slap) to upstairs 2nd floor (carpet on top of particle board). Thank you

Need more details on the carpet: wool? Polyester? Color?

All the same. Just the foundation diff which is my main concern.

There is more vibration as you move up floors in any building. As the little mice sing in Babe, that’s the way things are 🐭 🐭 🐭🎶

Put them on isolating pads up there if the bass sounds too fat

I wouldn’t worry too much about the flooring since you have carpet underneath. Is this a dedicated listening room, are you able to treat the room with acoustic panels?
