We tore out all the carpet and hand hard wood floors put in and honestly for me it did not make any difference. I think the reason though is because all my walls are covered with Sonex foam and or acoustic panels including large bass traps. I also have parts of the walls with 9 inch thick fiber glass covered with cloth covered tiger & lion. Also large throw rug etc.
I believe the room is 50 percent of the system. Carpet is probably better for acoustics than hardwood floors but good work around can be performed. Room looks better for sure.
