Primer on horns

About 9 years ago (when very poor) I remember listening to some Klipsch speakers (around $1000) in a dealer here in Austin and was blown away. Now I find myself with a system I am really happy with (Kef RDM3's, Sony SCD777-ES, Marantz ppre/power) but I have some money that is waiting to be spent and I was thinking I would like to investigate some Klipsch horn type speakers with some tube amplification. I will be keeping my main system, but I have a dedicated listening room (11*18, 8ft ceiling) where I can have a system off to the side for fun. I want to spend around 1000-1500 (second hand) age/looks isnt an issue.
I listen mainly to classical (small and large scale) and jazz.
I have had great luck getting good advice in this forum before, so wondered if anyone has tips/recomendations or good places to go and get Horns 101 (if you see what I mean).
Thanks

Pete: How about http://melhuish.org/audio/horn.htm#theory

This site also has a very good forum dedicated to single driver speakers.

At www.welbornelabs.com/recomendspeaks.htm there is a great list of effecient speakers, many of them horns, with pictures and links to the mnf's page.

Hope this is a little help.

I remain,
