That subwoofer is trash to be honest. Roll your own kit instead.

Dayton Audio SUB-1200 - $150.

If you want to drop a bit more money then go for a better subwoofer.

ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 $150. Good price, get it.

I would watch prices on the elac center, they have bounced all over the place price wise since they came out. I got one for 150$ new from amazon. I use camelcamelcamel to see price changes on stuff at amazon. Then strike when the iron is hot. https://camelcamelcamel.com/ELAC-Debut-Center-Speaker-Black/product/B07B4Q5LW2

Here's what I would do if I was purchasing right now, this is assuming the room isn't huge and you aren't sitting a mile away from the TV. Some of these are some decent sales.

TV: 55" TCL TV ($380)

AVR: Denon S530BT ($150)

Sub: HSU VTF-1 MK3 ($430 with shipping)

L/R: ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 ($250)

Center: ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 ($190)

Surround L/R: Micca Covo-S ($45)

Speaker Wire: Amazon Basics 14 Gauge ($16)

&#x200B;

Total: $1461

&#x200B;

Probably will go a bit over $1500 with tax, but I think this would be an extremely impressive first home theater and is what I would do if I was starting fresh with that budget.

Utilizing this sale, I'm hoping to upgrade from my built-in TCL TV speakers. Any thoughts or input on this setup before I buy?

Receiver:
DENON AVR-S640H

Speakers:
ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers

Center:
ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 Center Speaker

Subwoofer:
BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer

Speaker Wire: AmazonBasics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire - 100 Feet

Things I'm not sure about yet...

Speaker stands? Center speaker stand/raiser? Any wires for sub to connect to receiver (or anything else I'm missing)?

Here is a picture of the room. TV is a touch higher than usually recommended because I wanted the ability to see it over the top of my monitor as I work. Thank you!

If you have a receiver you don't really need an amp or dac. I'd look at center channel options next. Once you have a center, then I'd look at rears. I'd recommend building it out piecemeal and saving up, as cramming 3 more speakers into $200 would be pretty hard, unless you just meant $200 per component. You're at 2.1, 3.1 is the next step, then save up and then get some new fronts and move the t15s to the rear. You'll probably want to replace the t15s eventually, but for right now just get yourself set up.

Here's a great center for $200 https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-Debut-Center-Speaker-Black/dp/B07B4Q5LW2/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=elac+center+channel&amp;qid=1563306052&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-3

You can also look at the Klipsch centers (I love mine, have the RP model, but it's a bit above your stated price range, they make smaller centers that would work for you as well though).

I'm not sure how good it really is, but Amazon has a small Micca center for pretty cheap that could be an option depending on room size (I'd try to find expert reviews)
