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.

The bass should be inside your body eating your bones. Try Billie Eilish next time :-)
