Harwood Flooring Information For Dedicated Room

I am seeking advise on hardwood floor installation for my dedicated sound room. The wood flooring will tentatively be used on only 1/3 of the floor - the speaker end of the room. The hardwood will end about 8 inches in front of the speakers such that the speakers will be sitting on the hardwood and fire into the carpeted end of the room. The room is on the second level with a wood subfloor on 2x10 joists. Speakers are Dunlavy SC4a on Sistrum SP101 stands.

Should I use...

Real Hardwood?
Engineered?
Floating?
Nailed down?
Glued?
Underlayment or directly to subfloor?

Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks so much for your experience and expertise!

What underlay product should be used for basement concrete floor under engineered hardwood flooring? I looked at some but did not see any in the US.

I have engineered hardwood flooring and was expecting to lay that down in the basement as a floating floor for the entire dedicated listening room. It was stated in the previous post that floating floor is not good for dedicated sound rooms. Why is that? Then it states that laminates are good for basements. Please clarify for a dedicated sound room that is in the basement. Thanks, Bob
