Subjectively your preference will vary and the only way to know is to try them out yourself.
Objectively the 530s trounce the rp-600m's. The klipsch horn and woofer aren't time aligned and there is a huge dip in the mid range where most voices and instruments are. I have both and loved the 600's until I got the 530's. The tone and timbre of the instruments sounded more real on the JBLs
I use a MiniDSP 4x10hd and also sometimes a 2x4hd and have used phone app based PEQ (Android, USB Audio Player Pro with Tidal imbedded) and EqualizerAPO software for a laptop/desktop.
The Klipsch speakers were not mine, I borrowed them. I do a lot of testing along with that I am slowly designing a few speakers.
The speakers really just need a little boost in the upper midrange, and the ability to turn the treble down a little. Then the biggest thing is tweaking the bass/room interaction. Just the ability to tame the 2 or 3 worst room modes will really clean up the sound.
I sometimes see folks talk about bass issues with these but it most likely room interaction issues. These speakers have excellent woofers for such a low priced speaker. The bass is superb IMHO once dialed in. Yes I have heard better but my 4 pairs of design reference passive monitors retail for $11,200 for the 4 pairs. These RP600m's woofers offer a solid 90% of what those can do.
Of course you can fine tune it all more but after doing the above any further gains are minimal even if technically they would help or look good on a graph.
Anyway if you have some time to learn some software, I'd try EqualizerAPO with the PEACE interface added to it 1st as it is free - even if you normally don't use your computer for audio. It is a bit harder to learn than ideal at 1st but it is free and will give you an idea of what PEQ can and can not do and help you decide if you are into it.

You will need a way to EQ your frequency response. Nowadays it's usually done through software or hardware with built-in DSP. Some receivers will have a type of "auto EQ" built-in and options to manually adjust specific frequency, but the best way to do it is to be able to get a in-room measurement using a calibrated mic and seeing how the speakers actually respond to the room itself and then EQ from there.
Look into the REW software and miniDSP mics to get started in measurements. Then, find a way to EQ. If you have a computer as your source, there are some free EQ software out there that will get the job done. You can also use something like the Equalizer that Schiit makes, though the adjustment will not be as exact, but more like adjusting a specific band of frequencies.

Klipsch will probably release firmware update or Microsoft will release better update.

I hope to have a 5.1.2 setup, currently too broke for both a decent sub (SVS SB-1000 or Pro) & in-ceiling speakers (Polk VT60 runs $200/pair at Costco).
Current setup (all prices before tax):
- Denon AVR S760H (7.2ch) - $450
- Klipsch RP-250C (center) - $150
- Klipsch RP-600M (fronts) - $300
- Klipsch RP-160M (monitor - surrounds) - $250
- Total spent: $1,150
One thing's for sure - I am not going back to a soundbar.
