The RP-160M is nearly identical to the RP-600M except for:

A slight change to the tweeter, the 160M has a "Titanium LTS Tweeter" and the 600M has a "Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter" (good luck telling the difference in a side by side test)
The 160M comes with an angled base that is great if you're placing the speaker on a flat surface and not a speaker stand.
The 160M is a few pounds heavier, which means it is built better than the 600m with higher quality materials.

Given the price difference between the two, you're way better off going with the 160M over the 600M. The only advantage the 600M really has is the walnut vinyl wrap.

Are these similar sounding to a passive version of the fives?

The fives actually sound better than these. These will not have as much mid-base although they are very clear. Basically a semi-entry level bookshelf for klipsch.

Rp 600M is what you're looking for

If you follow the Newegg link they are paired with the RP-260F or RP-280F.

This one. The JBL 530s have a roll off in the higher frequencies. Klipsch will have the upper range energy for classical and jazz.

Yes. All this. The 600M is simply the replacement for the 160M. Most folks would never be able to tell the difference.

They are the same generation as the 280, but frankly will pair just fine with the 8000 for the vast majority of folks. 600M is the replacement for the 160M similar to the 8000 being the replacement for the 280.

Are these any better than the JBL Studio 530 for movies? They're basically the same price point with their sales.

You have to configure your system so that it knows there is a center channel. Either plug in the Audyssey microphone and run the calibration program or manually go into the setup menu under speakers and set center channel to yes.

It will not recognize you added a speaker just by connecting speaker wire if you never had a center speaker before. you need to run setup and calibrate it.
