My speakers are 101db, why do you think about noise floor problem ?
Did you get the speakers or it is just in theory ?
It depends on your cartridge and cables, also the amp and phono stage.
I can’t remember any noise problem with my 101db (Zu Audio Druid) speakers unless it’s a cartridge with extremely low output (lower than 0.15 mV). All MM/MI are dead quiet on the home listening volume level.
I would recommend AT-ML150 OCC with Beryllium Cantilever and MicroLine stylus tip if you want the best for the bucks. Or the AT-ML170 if you want one of the best MM ever. Here is the article for you about some decent MM. Australian JLTi made amazing phono stage for MM/MC for very reasonable price, previous version without new PSU was exactly $750 new.
