YU4

I have a set of passive LS50s w/ SVS SB1000 pro for my bedroom desk. At the desk, the imaging is mediocre. On the bench behind my desk (roughly where your sofa is) they sound fine. I had a set of LSXs before and they had better imaging at the desk, but noticeably less “fullness” in sound. At the end

Depends on your budget and size, but Kanto Yu4 or Yu6 are good. You can also get a receiver(with Bluetooth compatibility) and get two powered speakers.

I recommend the Kanto YU4 speakers. Currently on sale. They're powered, so no, nothing else required to use them.

Hey there! I recommend either the NEUMI BS5P-ARC if you have the space for them or the Kanto YU4.

5.25" can be good for the room size. 4" may be better to fit on that size desk. I have gone from 5.25" down to 3" speakers on my desk and a 12" subwoofer under my desk. Also powered speakers can be a good options for a desk. Some add USB input for your computer and some have a built in phono preamp

Solid deck, ditch the rest. Aim for an amp and two speakers (or at least two powered speakers) for stereo sound. You can source a used stand for way less than that one. What do you already have from FB Marketplace for $150? ETA: just noticed you're looking at TTL - they're great! This package is $10
