Bass boost (C5), Jeteffects (+9) and Mach3Bass (+8)? I'm guessing your head must look something like this guy when you've got some serious sub-bass going on:

If you can EQ in more bass than the 2.5, that's a serious accolade coming from an acclaimed basshead such as yourself. Never tried it, but then again I never dialled my 2.5s much over a 1/4 open, so I think that much punch would probably blow my head clean off my shoulders!
On a serious note, does bumping the bass that much help de-emphasise the sharpness in the low treble that some people (including myself) seem to struggle with?
I thought my receiving these based on bass ability made me go straight for the big bass ski slope curve and the mids and treble stayed put. On the Sony Z5 the treble would need to be cut so it wouldn't rip my head off. The 2.5 hit hard but the treble is already rolled a bit so 100% open vent and amp and eq make the mids missing in action.
The M-Audio Q-40 were a very lucky set. They never made anything as good so it was luck. I have no knowledge about this company or other gear so they are good or lucky?
These will slam and the whole housing will vibrate in your ear and the mids and treble at that point are superior to Z5 and 2.5 IMO.
The body design and material seem to make the bass hit feel stronger.
