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 just don't know how to describe it. I've heard well integrated deep bass many times on many systems and it sounds amazing. This is simply different. Its someone has 2 mini fans next to your ears or super fast driver that is just 1-2 cm from your outer ear and its vibrating. Its surprising. But if some of you are hearing it then maybe it was just a property of the room rather than super power of the magico m2.

I just tried to turn the gain up on my dual PSA v1800s. I definitely feel the bass on my body more... but I still don't quite get that sensation almost like something is vibrating right next to my ears. Too bad I can't borrow some m2s and stick them into my room, lol.
I heard the S7 in that dealers room but didn't hear that same song. Would been interesting if the effect was there on the s7.

What I mean is, the imaging of the bass is so good that you feel it right at your ears even though you are sitting 12 feet away from the speakers. And this is an electronic bass... not bass from a musician in the song. That kind of bass is of course well reproduced as you would expect.
Listen to the song on high end speakers and you might get the same effect.
