I forgot to mention that there's an opening on the right side of the room. To give you a better idea of the space, I’ve sketched a rough layout.

Considering this, would your speaker recommendations remain the same?

That only increases the need for cardioid alike response speakers. Not all speakers are built equally and active DSP ones are limited the most with it's ADC performance and all together old one's. You won't find top performing amplifier in them either, in that regard older Neumann's where better than Genelecs and I am not sure that's still the case (no Genelecs didn't improve). As you don't have money for that and small one's won't cut it that lefts you mid range actives with quality built like HS8 but I told you what I think it's best you might get if you are lucky.
