Just in the context of a home listening room, I expect a typical printed canvas won't have enough density to really affect the absorption much below around 4000Hz. Sorry, I should have said air doesn't need to pass through, rather than sound.

It isn't quite true that sound needs to pass through, Ecophon and others make absorbers encapsulated in a film which give very good performance. The main thing is that the surface layer isn't too dense/thick, so a canvas can work. You may loose a bit of absorption in the very high frequencies...

Hi, I think you're right to tackle the acoustics in the room rather than speakers etc. Almost any system will sound bright if the room sounds bright. You would also improve this like stereo imaging and get a 'cleaner' sound which eq'ing won't help with. I'd be a bit careful with the wallpaper...
