I don't listen to classical often but I assume the same criteria for good speakers apply here as elsewhere. I find MA's silver range excels in looks more than anything else and listening to them kind of confirms it (to me and imo only as always). Unrefined tweeter which will come in handy for string quartets and mushy sounding mids and bass, fantastic for those moments when you want to know where exactly that section of orchestra is, not quality. Totems sound good but their usp is to appear larger than they are and mostly, they succeed. But as Ray said, the smaller coned ones are no good for higher volume and can quickly sound compressed. Expensive too. The B&W's sound boring at lower volumes and I find their CM1 a nicer speaker to listen to. Looks a lot smarter too and worth a try as they sound full and clear, probably a good match for the mira. Apart from the Rega's mentioned, which I like, you could also try Usher S520, a nicely balanced gorgeous standmount (comes in great gloss colours such as ferrary red, yellow, black, white as well as more conventional finishes) with surprisingly good bass. Sounded good with Rega. Lastly and they surprised me, Kef's iQ7. A good looking floorstander with no boom whatsoever. Sounds lovely and open too but you may need a small sub if your after bass you can feel. Other than that it sounds like a high quality bookshelf without the associated cost for a stand. Available for under 300 quid now.
