Wood is not anywhere near as hard as tile. At frequencies that we care about, the floor covering is not a major deal. A pure tile floor can help emulate the reverb of a bathroom, not what you want. For a living room, a nice setup is hardwood flooring with a thick middle eastern rug covering the center, leaving a fair amount of wood visible around the edges. Clearly you want hand woven wool rugs, which are too expensive to cover all the floor anyway. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
