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.

Pick up a used Great American Sound (GAS) Thalia or Thoebe preamp and mate it to a GAS Son of Ampzilla power amp. Cheap enough on Ebay, fun names, and gets him into having pride of ownership and separates like the big boys. Surprisingly, this gear still cuts muster with today's gear. The meters on the amp are a hoot also.
