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.

I listened to that song with my Harbeth P3ESR's and thought I might lose an eardrum or two. 
Tried playing this song on the main system... I'll have to try it earlier in the day.  Sorry neighbors! Sounded like my house was trying to tear itself apart.
