Andre, please explain what will be different in the sound if you have a room with a cement floor and then lay wood parquet tiles on top. Be as specific as you can in your explanation! I'm not talking about how people might respond to the visual change - mood and ambience etc. Only how the sound will change for Stevie Wonder or Jose Feliciano.

Folks, I'm trying hard to keep this on the topic of surface reflectivity. "Corrosive" comments about losing respect and other insults only show that the posters have nothing of substance to contribute. Disagreeing about the science is fine! But keep it to that so we can talk about testing methods, and the frailty and lack of repeatability of human perception. Otherwise you just come off as childish fools.

Now, please let's get back to how the sound will change when different floor materials are replaced with others that reflect very similarly.
