I'm not sure that it's so obvious.
Here for example are the in-room measurements that Dick Olsher made of the LRS's predecessor, the MMG:

The first is in-room 1 meter response, the second far field third octave response. Where is the huge bass rolloff?
And you can see Stereophile's measurement of the LRS here -- unfortunately it's a near field measurement, but when you overlay the 6 dB/octave dipole rolloff on it, you get bass response that's similar to the MMG's:

The LRS is the same size as the MMG and differs mostly in that it uses foil rather than wire on the woofer.
So why did Amirm measure no bass at all?
I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I've heard them with a drum track and they didn't roll off at 250 Hz. They sounded like the MMG -- no deep bass, but flat down to 60 Hz or so, with the proximity effect suckout from the front wall reflection at about 125 Hz.
One possibility is that it was measured in one of those unfortunate rooms that makes dipole bass extension disappear. This happens with dipoles because they don't excite the horizontal or vertical axial modes, and that in turn means that a Z-axis null at the point at which the bass rolls off will slay the bass extension. And that may have "conspired" with the proximity effect null, which depends on the distance of the speaker from the front wall. But it's just a guess -- the room could have been too large to load the baffle properly as well.
In any case, based on these three things -- Stereophile's measurement, Dick Olsher's in-room measurements of the MMG, and my own brief listen at AXPONA -- I'd expect the in-room response in a room of moderate size to look more like Dick Olsher's. Maybe someone who has a pair could make some in-room measurements?
