My suggestion is, if you are going to audtion at home, do your room first. Then pick.
In general, the MA platinums are technical perfection. As a result may be a tad more laid back than the Focals, which always have a little extra bite at the top to my ears. When auditioning, pay close attention to what volume you like to listen to each at.
Also, the tone controls on the Luxman are _outstanding_. Don't be afraid to use them or the loudness switch to listen late at night. :)
