Good Luck. One way to look at it might be that even going with hardwoods there are things one can do to improve/change the sound for the better even after the hardwoods are in. Adding furniture, rugs, and textile wall hangings can help when things are to bright or overly reflective. These items also help to control the bass if it gets out of hand. Don't get me wrong, there are still options for you even after you go with hardwoods. My first suggestion was to see if it was really only about the sound and now we know it is not.
