best floor in listening room

My listening room is typical...walls are painted dry wall, 9-foot ceilings, a couple windows, fireplace and a couch or two. Currently the floor is carpeted but my wife would like a wood floor. I am concerned about adding another hard reflective surface to the listening area. Any thoughts?

Be gentleman and please your lady.
Put some rug in the middle to dampen the wood floor and leave happy.

Ah, I think I get it. It's easier to change the system than the wife. Many good monitors out there. Thanks, folks.

I have hardwoods with thick wool carpet in the center. Your room will get more live. Add more treatment to tone it down to your liking. Let the wife help you pick out the colors and designs. She'll love it.

Wood floor is fine when using throw rugs, or best of all use an oriental rug. And have some soft furniture arranged around the room.
