Monitors and Integrated for $300-$500

Here's the challenge:

A friend would like to dump his aging and awful boombox, and replace it with a pair of monitors and an integrated amp. He only wants to spend between $300 and $500. The system is for a small room, and he wants a remote. I've got cables for him, and he'll use his DVD player to play CDs.

What would you recommend?

NAD C340 or newer C350 integrated amplifiers used or demo $200.00. Paradigm Mini Monitors new $300.00 a pair or Monitor Audio Bronze B2B monitors for $299--or less if used/demo. Would sound pretty nice I'd imagine with limitations of only $500.00. Could do worse at $1000.00.
