Not familar with the Esprit, but with 80% classical in mind try to check out the Aegis One (current model is the Aegis Evo One), which retail for around $300/pr.
The Mini Monitor is voiced more for popular music and R&R as are "some" of their more expensive offerings.
If they still make them you might also try to audition the less expensive Paradigm Titan (for use in small rooms only) which are nicely balanced for classical music.
Another all around speaker (good for classical) is the Castle Richmond. They retail for $500/pr, but are sometimes available @ a nice dscount.
Anyway, I would not use/recommend the Paradigm Mini Monitors for classical.
