Product Description: | Get incredible cinema-quality stereo sound with the RP-500M bookshelf speakers. Klipsch proprietary technology is built on over 70 years of acoustic experience to deliver the best home theater experience possible. Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology ensures high-frequency energy of the RP-500M bookshelf speakers are aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the most clear, detailed, lifelike sound possible. Horn Anatomy Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers feature a compressed molded silicon face that is matted to the 90 Degree x 90 Degree Tractrix horn to reduces horn resonance for smoother frequency response. Klipsch computer modeled phase plugs act as a mechanical filter to further ensure a smooth, flat frequency response while protecting the tweeter from damage.

I have both, Klipsch floor speakers and 530s. Klipsch for my home theater and jbl for me desktop music duty. Both serve their purposes. I wouldnt say the 530 is way better. Audioreview rated them basically the same. My personal preference, Klipsch better for movies and JBL better for music.
You're comparing the 530s to a pair of floorstanding though. I'm comparing the 530s to these exact bookshelves. They are not essentially the same. The 530s definitely sound better including for movies. The JBL compression drivers do things these cannot. And the bass on the 530s is better as well. I wanted to like these and probably would have if I didn't have anything else to compare them to.
I agree about Klipsch's sketchy sensitivity ratings. They state the figure as "in-room" where everyone else uses the anechoic figure. Read independent reviews where they have measured the sensitivity. No where close to published rating.
