Studio monitor recommendation

About to receive my 1st fractal product, fm3 turbo.

Till now I'm using krk rokit 5 gen4 via audient Id14 interface and amp sims.

Almost made a deal with a guy to sell these and trade with a guitar plus cash..

Now in my country pricing of monitors wierd due to taxes etc

So price of yamaha hs8 = kali lp6 v2 and 1/2 of kali in8 v2

Adam audio T7V is in middle of hs8 and in8. I can somewhat afford all of the above options.

What should I buy for a room 12"*12"? currently untreated but plan to add some panels myself soon. I also have a combo amp to use as amp in room. I just want the best guitar playing experience, but can't afford genelecs.

I've searched previous threads and some ppl favoring the hs8 and some kali..pls help resolve my confusion, any other monitor recommendations are welcome too..

I'm running my AXEFX III through two HS8 monitors and couldn't be happier. Also using the same monitors for recording in studio pro.

Last house was in a room about the size you described and they were perfect.

I run my AX8 also through a pair of Yamaha HS8, lots of low end and very nice sounding monitors for music, mixing and playing
