The final acoustical phase result is what really matters and is what will make the crossover most effective. What folks usually forget about is time. If the tweeter is set back too far, yet the crossover adjusts for the phase for smooth FR, it still won't sound right. Traditionally, the tweeter is ahead in time which, to me, isn't perfect either. Why would you want to start hearing the harmonics before the fundamental? That's what's happening if the tweeter's acoustic center is in front of the mid/woofer.
