My office Klipsch 2.1 system went kaput and I replaced it with a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22 bookshelf speakers ($130 from Best Buy) and a Dayton Audio DTA-1 amplifier ($35 from Parts Express). Sounds wonderful in near field low-level listening and plays plenty loud when my co-workers have left! It's a low-price starting point and has an upgrade path - if your son catches that bug - to a better amplifier and then to better speakers.
The speakers are small, as speakers go, but are a large for a desktop system. The amplifier is tiny.

ps. The speakers are the ones designed by Andrew Jones of TAD and the amplifier is basically a Tripath switching amp chip plus a few components (hence the low price). DIY mods are available but it sounds nice out of the box - no noise or hum.
