Carpet In Home Theater [message #88686]

Most theaters, if not all, have carpeted flooring. Can we have the same sound quality if we place a carpet in our home theater? I'm satisfied with my home theater setup, but I can upgrade.

I stand corrected but I think having a right floor has a big impact on the sound quality and overall experience. Not only does a carpet give some comfort; it is also good in sound absorption, unlike when you have a hard surface leading to sound bouncing back and forth.

What you said is what I was thinking, and this is why I asked this inquiry. In my own simple mind, the carpet will filter out the sound and make the sound into a better quality.

Is there a specific type of carpet that is best for this kind of thing?

There are specific carpets that are designed for this and they differ in cost, based on quality. I once checked and the cheapest one was going for approximately $150 but I know that you could use some DIY skills to come up with something unique and save on the overall cost.

I don't think that the carpet type will make a big difference. From my understanding with my reading in this forum, sound quality can be affected by many factors, including the curtains, the furniture, the wall, the carpet, and even the coffee table.

Another factor not mentioned here-
more often than not, effecting the quality of sound in almost every typical residential room.....
is the ceiling.

Well, in this case then, it seems that sound quality is determined by many factors, but just looking at one aspect will not sort the whole thing. I have never thought about the ceiling having an impact; seems I will have to research more on this!

What Johnny said is correct that the sound quality will also be affected by the ceiling. Now it makes me think how the ceiling will affect the sound. What is the recommended height of the ceiling so the sound quality of the speakers will be better?

Good points everyone. However, I can only upgrade or enhance one factor at a time and that is the carpet. I will consider upgrading the other factors later on when I have enough budget for them.
