Audio room floor question

Thanks......Isochronism.....but I only asked the question because I could not find a thread.

I'm still searching for this thread. I would appreciate it is someone could direct me to it....thanks.

Thanks Zenblaster......I'm not sure how all of this relates to my situation. I'm in Colorado in a very dry climate. My new slab is very insulated and actually contains in floor heating. Like the poster in the other thread I do not want Carpet and pad. I was considering either going with the stained concrete floors with area rugs or possibly using either a glued down hardwood or an engineered floating hardwood. From the other thread I am assuming that the engineered hardwood would be the way to go. My present floor is a concrete slab with a Pergo type floating floor. It sounds ok but seems a bit "spongy" to me. Do you think that going with the stained concrete and area rugs would be a bad idea?

Zenblaster.......Yes they poured the floor over what looked like 2 inches of foam insulation. I assume that you a floor with the most absorption the best. I wonder about the very hard finishes of the new hardwood floors. If this would be detrimental. Good idea about the plywood for a TT stand. Yes we are planning the wiring. Thanks.

Goofyfoot......We had to actually sink the floor to give us sufficient ceiling height. I'm thinking of doing a double sheetrock wall with "Greenglue" between the sheets. No I am not using electrostatic panels. the article was very interesting. It actually scared the heck out of me!

Isochronism.....thanks for the search tips.

Hifiharv....I might have to do as you suggest. The area lends itself to something durable like tile. we had to actually sink the room over 12" to get a decent ceiling height. I was looking at it with the contractor today and realized we didnt have any method to drain it if we had a burst pipe or some other mishap.

Thanks for your replies......It seems the consensus is for a hard floor. I might just go with the concrete and then if i want something different later i could tile or even go with the bamboo. I love bamboo and have a grove at my other home but I've heard mixed reviews about the flooring. But in this case it would probably work just fine. I was doing some measuring today and it looks like I have only 8 ft of clearance before finishing the ceiling or the floor. I'll probably go with double sheet rock on the ceiling so the lees flooring the better.

Rrog and Radni.....thank you very much for your replies. My internet has been down so sorry about my late reply. I am going to finish the concrete because of time and cost and then use a large area rug with a pad. Wall to wall carpet would be a cheap option if the area rug doesnt work out. Thanks.
