Spec me a bedroom amp!

Can anyone recommend an amp for use in my bedroom? I've moved my floorstanders in there after installing a surround system in the lounge. Obviously it doesn't need to be really powerful as it's not going to be run loudly, and the more compact the better really.

Open to any budget.

Thanks!

Monitor Audio BX5s. I'm not massively bothered about having the best quality, a nice balance of quality and cost would be ideal. To be honest, I'd prefer a more compact amp if poss due to space available in the bedroom, though I'm not aware of any compact proper hifi amps...

To be honest I really like the look of the Denon DM38DAB, compact and fully featured. Think I'll pop in to RS today and have a look. Cheers guys.

Bought the Denon, fantastic little unit - exactly what I wanted! The fact that its got DAB and a CD player is a bonus. It drives the MAs really well, sound feels nice and big even at low volumes. Not heard any distortion issues. Listening to good tunes in my bedroom as I type this for the first time in years!

Was going to recommend a Denon .. I have 2 an M37 and an M38, both give up a meaty sound way beyond their apparent ability but the M38 has fixed the hiss issues the M37 suffered from at low volumes.

I'm really loving this little unit, didn't realise how much I missed listening to music in the morning whilst I'm getting ready for work. Was a bit concerned it would drive the floorstanders but doesn't seem to be an issue at all. Amazing product for the price!
