The only true way for one to compare the two would be to put everything back in to the room after changing the floor in the exact same place. Nothing else changed, nothing else replaced, everything exactly in the exact same place. I believe you could change a floor, put everything back, but put your speakers back in a different position(maybe only a few inches different) and have such a different sound because of the new speaker positioning that you'd blame it on your new floor.
With that said, my ears enjoyed my system just as much or maybe even a little more with hardwood floors and no carpets. I put in some rugs for looks and comfort.
But, many musicians that play live are playing on a Persian rug, that suggests something to me.
