Bedroom system for my 10 year old son


We're re-doing our 10 yr old son's bedroom. He's really into music, listens either to his iPod or the family computer in the den. My wife says we should add a stereo for him. I've got a pair of NHT Super Zero's sitting unused that I can throw in there. What I need is either an integrated amp or receiver. I prefer something in the sub $200 range, preferably with a headphone jack. Because he doesn't have much shelf space, the smaller the footprint the better.

Any recommendation for something that would work with the NHT's? Would I be better off spending a couple hundreds of bucks on a shelf system?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... system for a 10 yr. old.

I've got a ten year old system in my bed room.

Sony 444 es 5.1 receiver... should go for around your price point... will sure drive those NHTs... and more.

Get an X box, or PS as a source.. so he can play whatever disc, whenever.

Actually my Sony is 9, later this year, and has been used with great frequency during that time in many ways... Right now I use my Oppo 980 as one source, a laptop as another and then the cable box.

The sub is over ten years old... Velodyne, 10 inch 100wpc, w/passive 12 radiator... probably you could do way better there than mine... around $150 or so.

But definitely a sub has a lot of grin content.

Good luck
