You can't go wrong with Neumann however, definitely get 8" monitors.

I actually have both and the Neumann's kill the Yammies. Get a Sub to go with the KH 120's if you really need the lows. I do lots of electronic music and the lows are fine for me without. The Yammies definitely have more lows obviously as they are bigger. I also have some Equator D5's and I just tried them the other night in my thus far untreated new studio room and they are really damn good too. Lot's of great choices out there.
Also do you want rear or front ported? 120's front HS8's rear. That will depend on how far the wall is behind them. Good luck.
