Looking for some advice for speaker placement. I would love to get these speakers off of the TT surface, using pads right now. My question is do any of you think I would be able to stick some speaker stands on either side if I bring the plants out? If so, will that make the sound worse boxing them further into the corners? Thank you!

I just upgraded to the 110, installed on pioneer pl-518 with a 49mm gauge, checked vtf with a scale, i'm sitting at 1.8g. Everything sounds good, no noticeable distortion. Now the cartridge sits quite low, as you can see in the photos. I tried some of my warped records and it holds steady, however I don't like that on the auto return it can clip some high spots of a warped record going back. Also, now that everything sits lower the distance in the cue drop to the record has shortened significantly, it's quite abrupt and seemings a bit jarring on the stylus. Does anyone know if the Pioneer pl 518 can adjust height of the tone arm? Or perhaps a different head shell, the 110 is too large to fit inside the headshell so it's kind of sitting on the edges.

TLDR: Nagaoka MP 110 rides low on pioneer pl 518, any way to raise that distance with taller cartridges?`
