Dear Lgl: That " direct sound " from the monitors could or could not affect, only testing you can be sure. Problems with TT's comes from speaker bass response feedback but not always only from bass range, the volume is important too and the TT system position as the TT platform where is seated and these " troubles " are in a non direct radiating speaker sound like yours.
I think that 13" even is problematic for you where there changing records so 36" position seems better.
I can say if you can have problems with either position you will now when try it that IMHO is the only way to be sure about.
Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
