Not currently it seems, but they do come up often enough.
Personally waiting for the next RP 8000F deal to move my 600Ms to surround duty, instead of L/R

I tried these and sent them back. Klipsch is massively overstating (aka lying about) their sensitivity and the JBL 530 sound way better for essentially the same price.

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 picked up the 600Ms when they were 300 and I'm enjoying them as music speakers in my office hooked up to my Sony stereo receiver. My only issue is the highs on these is pretty intense so I dropped the treble down a couple of notches to balance it out.

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.

The RP 600m reviews very well, but everyone has preferences on what they like to hear.
Klipsch has a unique sound profile that some may not enjoy, if you are okay with the "brighter" profiles, then the 600m is a great speaker, especially at this price.
