Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging)

This song 'James Blake - Limit to your love' has this weird bass that kicks in at about 1:00 into it. Now I have heard this song on a few speakers and it sounded great but when I heard it on the magico m2 I could literally hear the bass right at my ears as if I was wearing heapdhones. It was such a strange sensation. Is this indicative of the m2s incredible imaging capability or is this something else? This was in an irregularly shaped room with a big hallway to one side and hardly any treatment.

Yes that is what I am hearing as well. 
ON a pair of B&W dm70c electrostatic speakers with 13 inch woofer.

Speakers 10 feet from front wall. Room is a large    
Bass fills the room .

Double check that your speaker cables were connected correctly at both ends.  Red to red, black to black on both sides. :)

If they cant hear the difference without checking, why bother?

Just fyi, it normally takes a while for a thread to go totally off the rails. This train wreck was instantaneous. Congratulations. China virus has killed even the internet.
