Despite all practical advantages to be had in covering the mouths, I don't believe there's any significant technical advantage. What is likely to weigh more heavily is that there's something very irresistible about looking at an object that speaks so honestly of its function; to the human brain, this is a source of pleasure that is difficult to deny. I think you're going to really want to see them. If it were me I'd cover the part of the wall surrounding the mouths, using a sound-absorbing material, leaving the inside of the horns exposed. This will also contribute to the perception of space (more space) in the room, particularly if the interior of the horns is done in a light color.
