Music Room vs. Home Theater Design Question?

I am in the process of remodeling my Music/HT Room. This room is approximately 12.5'x 20'x 8'.

Here is what I do not understand.

In nearly every Home Theater I have ever been in or have seen pictures of on the Internet, they have carpet for the flooring.

However for nearly every Music listening room I have ever been in or have seen pictures of on the Internet, they have hardwood for the flooring. I have also noticed the hardwood flooring trend for recording studios.

Why do you think this pattern exists?

Acoustics? Budget? etc.

Thanks,

Josh

If you want to hear from the speaker what was recorded any reduction of room distortion (reflections) is desirable.

If you wish to "create" a specific type of "preferred sound" then shaping the sound with various sonic reflections from reflected surfaces and materials is useful.
