Great frequency charts guys, thanks!

I would say that isolated headphone frequency graphs aren't that representative to what we actually hear; I think they can be helpful when comparing one headphone to another if the measurements were taken the same exact way though.
Perhaps my statement should have read, "The LCD-2's treble is a bit recessed compared to the HD800, but not rolled off as it extends quite nicely to me. Have you listened to the two headphones in question? I have owned both, and neither sound rolled off to me, it's just a different tonal presentation. The HD650 OTOH sounds rolled off.
As always, my statements are qualified by my signature (IMO, IME, YMMV, etc.), so please take them in that context.

At least in so far as I can tell, and per the graph below, it looks to me like the LCD-2's are "rolled off" in the sense of exhibiting "gradually reduced response at the upper end of the working frequency range." ( http://www.thefreedictionary.com/roll+off )
