Total speculation. They are not inherently more phase coherent.
And, series crossovers are not limited to 6db/octave.
The reason Magnepan has switched is for practical concerns vice performance.
The component values required are smaller (relatively speaking) and allow a crossover physically much smaller than previous ones. This allows (among other things) to dispense with the large external crossover box on the larger models.
