I would second this. Unless your bedroom is 800 square feet, you're better off going with a 2-channel system. I would check out Craigslist or Canuck Audio Mart for good 2-channel stuff. I would start with a good quality 2-channel amplifier from Marantz or Denon and some good speakers from a company like Paradigm.

Sometimes, you get lucky and get something like this for under $500 (I did):
