For all the abuse Magico gets I find them to be a really well made solid speaker. They do need lots of power and big amps that sound god are expensive. I think most magico speakers are sealed so the bass will sound difference, and again might want even more adjustments.
Never heard the Focal but they're known for being really detailed, so if you are using digital, again big money to get it right but probably big rewards too. Can you take a $300 airline flight to hear them both? I don't like packing and shipping a beast of a speaker like this, and it sounds like you don't either if you are looking for "end game."
