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.

Ok, played that song on my system and have to say it’s ridiculous to even try to discuss something so inherently electronic and studio manufactured.  Completely unnatural sounding...the word techno scrap comes to mind. I’ve heard some super low frequencies on Kpop songs that at least have some acoustical merit in support of the song and are better recorded.  Low frequency electronic oscillations are great for woofer break in but not for music...certainly not as a system check of any sort!
