I have a pair of the original EPS speakers. They play all types of music well. Analogtroll is correct, in that they really do come to life with 100 or more watts feeding them. I started using an Air Tight ATM 1 (40 watts per channel) at first. It had a great sound (nice palpable bloom) but lacked dynamics, especially bass. I'm now using a pair of NuForce 9 SE V2 amps, and speakers really sing now. I've never heard the MK 2s, but can only imagine how good they are.
