Well, "fast" bass is a bit of a misnomer. No bass is fast. It's bass -- the driver moves slowly.
Often, "slow" bass is caused by a mismatch between the woofer and the midrange and tweeter. See the article I've linked to.
Magnepan goes out of their way to extend the HF response of their woofer panels so that they meld in the crossover region.
Another issue is that dipole bass triggers fewer room modes than monopole bass. This means smoother response in real world rooms. You can do the same thing with sealed subs, but you need four of them to do it.
