Also, superbly clean bass is qualitatively much different to the ears than even good bass.
Here in Seattle superbly clean bass is no longer an option. It is completely sterilized. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
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.
