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.

Buconero117, your post brought back many fond memories of listening to my music via Koss headphones when I was a young lad. I know Mom and Dad appreciated them !! Ecruz, if you go with headphones, explain to the little man about excessive volume and hearing loss.
Ecruz, That being said, maybe a pair of the small Paradigm or PSB monitors will fill the bill. I have a pair of Paradigm Titan v2's that I have had for 10+ years that sound really good,sorry they are not for sale!!
I must apoligize, I got off on speakers and you are asking about amps,my bad. Can't go wrong with used NAD or Rotel in my opinion.Plenty of inexpensive ones on the market.Add an ipod dock and there you are.
