Phase Shifts : How Audible?

<font color='#000000'>I have seen some specs of speakers in a set designed for 5.1 configuration.  I noticed the center speaker  uses 1st order crossover while the main front speakers uses 2nd order crossovers.  I understand such crossovers have a 90 and 180 degree phase shifts, respectively.  Does that matter at all?

Also, I've noticed that some 3-way speakers use 1st order between tweeter and mid-range, but uses 2nd order between mid and woofer.  IS that ok?</font>
