Might soon be looking around for a Midi System for my bedroom.

Nothing fancy, just something with a decent sound. Don't mind if it dates back to the 90s.

Any recs?

I've always had a soft spot for the small Denon RCD M41 that in various updated guises has always reviewed well.

I have one I use in a holiday home and you have the option for speakers, I've got old Monitor Audios on mine

Think the very latest has Bluetooth, if that's of any importance to you.

It has digi in, so I feed a DVD/CD player and TV output to it, also a.pair of RCA analogue in, which will be receiving signal from my DAC32 when I next go there.

Teac did a nice mini system in the 90's or if you're looking for older more retro Aiwa of all people made a superb mini system back in the late 70's

As I mentioned elsewhere, I’d go Yamaha and their range based around the AX-9 or 10 amplifiers and CDX-9 or 10 CD players.

The range also includes tuners, receivers, cassette decks and a minidisc player.

Edit - although the Aiwa system is an excellent choice!

Technics made some nice little systems in the 90s (New Class A or AA if I remember correctly). Maybe find a retro one on eBay?

Seconded on the Aiwa Mini Compo's i use an A30 and R30 - these are UK made high performance kit I'm running MK1 Wharfedale Diamonds on this rig sounds fantastic - The A30's can be found cheap enough on the bay keep a look out -

100% agree, i had the pre power amp combo running a pair of JBL's very sweet, the only thing that seems to go wrong with these tiny systems is the cassette deck, more than likely it won't get used though and the input used for a digital source.
