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.

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

But yes, I suppose he plays a lot with the phase button on the album to create these illusions. Mostly with his voice.

There are more songs on that album with interesting sound effects. Actually modern music often gives "HiFi" speakers lots of problems. It's not always "crap recordings" as we tend to say when it doesn't sound so good.
