Hey I'll try to help you out.
First things first that's a nice TV stand but it might be hard to add a receiver or center speaker into. Your space is tight so I'd rule out towers and focus on bookshelf speakers with stands. And also your budget will make it hard for a quality 3.1 setup. Id focus on 3.0 or 2.1. You might get recommendations on big bundles of cheap speakers but nah, start with quality speakers and go up from there.
With that being said, to match your beautiful white TV stand, I'll recommend some pretty white bookshelf speakers Q Acoustics 3020i $299
Matching center
Leaves you roughly $200 to find a refurbed Denon receiver from accessories4less or from Amazon renewed
Add some 16 gauge speaker wire and you are set to go. Save up for the subwoofer of your choice and you're off towards quality audio!
How about these

Then you should have enough left over for a Elac sub

Not sure how much you're willing to spend, but I've got a few recommendations.
KEF LS50
KEF Q150
B&W 607
B&W 707
Quad Z-1
Kanto YU4
Those are only ones that I've heard and would recommend. Here are some others that are popular but I haven't heard them.
ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 edit: not sure why that link won't work so https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYQD1SJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1yLRDbFDGZ72B

I'm not a guru, but to my understanding at 300$ price range you want to start looking at AMP + Bookshelf Speakers for music.
I came to that conclusion with couple days of looking at forums and threads.
Even more so in US and I'm from EU.
​
and even before that price point some Active Studio Monitors or Active Bookshelf are better quality than Edifiers R series already.
More clarity, more depth and tighter bass, but I cannot speak for Edifier S series, they are supposedly good.
Adam, JBL, Mackie MRT, Klipsch, M-Audio, PreSonus, KRK and some more active brands I'm forgetting.
​
But at that price you can be looking at some proper Amp + Passive Speakers combos.
​
If you need Mini-amps for desk and on budget:
SMSL SA-50 68$
Dayton Audio DTA 2.1BT2 95$ - recommend this one for punchy bass and features
You could probably find some good new and used amps, if you can use bigger sized ones.
But like I said I'm no guru.
​
Bookshelf speakers:
ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 275$
KEF Q100 357$
Q Acoustics 3020i 299$
Q3020 non i version which I tried with Dayton Audio DTA 2.1BT v1. lacked bit bass, decided to go for Mission LX-2 they still haven't arrived.
But they do not seem available in US.

They are the Q Acoustics 3020i in white. I have them paired up with a Klipsch 10" reference sub and drive them with an SMSL AD18 and I'm incredibly pleased with the sound quality of the setup.
