Very small Integrated and speakers used

I was looking for a pair of affordable powered speakers for my dorm room, and i was thinking that probably i'll be better served with any integrated and passive speakers produced in the last decades.
Now the problem is that i don't have a lot of space on my desk, so i was wondering what are the smallest good performing integrated amps and speakers that can be bought easily in the used market.
thanks in advance

Rega Brio R. There's a couple on Agon right now. Or, find a used NAD. Can't go wrong with either. I wouldn't consider a T Amp personally. Remember, you're going to graduate one day.

NAD is always a solid choice.

But the Jolida/Zu combo offers some real eye candy to spice up a dorm room. Unfortunately, the guys will be more impressed than the ladies most likely, but you never know....

Just keep the door locked no matter if you have nice gear in a dorm room.

THose were the days (I am 52 years old with a son heading to college shortly, I hope)....

I stand by my previous powered monitors suggestion, but I did come very close to buying the below, which looks an intriguing desktop amp option. Nuforce also sells bundles with speakers.

I'm not sure you should give up on powered speakers run off your computer. Definitely good bang for buck, in a small space. I've had swans in my office for some time, and they sound pretty decent, and a friend enjoys his Audioengines. Set up couldn't be simpler, and could easily be done for less than 400.

Take a look at the Wyred4sound mINT. This little integrated is too new to find used, but it sounds perfect for you. I am interested in it too, but I am going back and forth between the nova and this. Let me know what you think.
