Same challenge to you as to Frank: Prove it.

In London you could clearly hear the difference between the low frequency response of largely wooden Kingsway Hall and the concrete midrange of EMI's Studio One.

That is not a valid comparison because so many other aspects of both spaces are totally different.

The underlying concrete was removed and the bass returned.

I'm aware of that history, but in this case the change was not due to surface reflectivity! Large concert halls benefit from reverb at bass frequencies. So altering the resonance of the walls and (in this case) the floor will have a big effect. But that's resonance, not surface reflectivity in the context of a solid stable floor.

A wooden floor does not sound the same as a concrete floor, and that should be obvious.

It's not obvious to me. But I'll be glad to be proven wrong if you have some hard evidence.
