Hi,  This something Wayne should comment on as he has considerable experience in that area. My simple take is the hardness or softness of a room relates to how any particular speaker will sound.  I have what would be a mostly soft room.  Carpets, furniture, bookcases and acoustic stuff on the ceiling.  This in my case is required because I use electrostatic speakers that are bi-dimensional.  They rely on controlled back sounds.  More conventional speakers are not usually as demanding in that area, but will still depend on room resonances and reflections.  I hope this helps.

Good Listening
Bruce
