FosterCO,

Does your laptop have access to any equalization, or does the amplifier have tone controls? The M2s will accept a gentle amount of bass boost, perhaps 3 dB- 5 dB, without complaint, and since you are doing "near-field" listening and not playing the M2s really loud, that amount of bass boost should help reproduce the lower bass tones without muddying up the midrange.

Regards,
Alan
