If you are concerned about phase under the conditions you described there is a simple and much overlooked solution. Simply reverse the speaker connections at your amp or speakers, but not both. I faced the same situation when using a Sim Supernova CDP and this works great and is a perfectly acceptable fix.
For some reason the USA and Europe have different standards, pin 1 is ground for both but pins 2 & 3 are reversed.
