I started looking for a mini system for my 12 year old daughter about a week ago. Iv learned that most companies build in a burnout failure time.

Can someone recommend a mini or shelf system she could use from today, through her college years? This planned burnout time is unacceptable. She needs a single cd/dig tuner with inputs for a ipod or whatever is out at the time.

Or do I need to find a good vintage stereo?

Thanks for your time
