Best bedroom amp?

Only one bedroom amp I would consider, and the first product from this company I have liked. Line6 Studio 110. Five bass amp models, synth bass, compressor, and a surprisingly loud 75 watts into a single 10 inch speaker.

Pre out, xlr out, both with cabinet simulation. Headphone out, mp3 in.

Good for bedroom, small gig, medium to large gig with out to PA. Handles low B without farting out, at high volume level.

All in a 1 foot square package. This is the 3rd line 6 product I have owned, but the first that I can say I will keep. It is the only amp I own, and will buy extra power and cabs for larger gigs. The amp models are very good, and will work as a monitor on stage at ear level, as floor coupling does not seem to be important.

Good sound, good power, good price (299.99 new)

+1, and with the wattage it works as a small venue rig as well. If you have some more money I really like the Markbass Minimark as well.
 
If you have the dough, a Genz Shuttle 3x8T is the ticket. Weighs nothing and takes no space, sounds great, full-featured and the head slips off and is powerful enough to gig with if you feed it through a larger cab.

Shoot. I was just going to recommend the Shuttle 3.0x8T.

Really small and light. It's something like 14 lbs. Very good tone. Plus it has an aux in and a headphone jack so you can amplify an mp3 player or iPod and practice quietly if you want.

And when you want to go and play out, pop out the head (all of 3 lbs.) and plug it into your big cabinet. I did that just last night; the shuttle into an Epifani 4x10. Sounded good.

I just picked mine up for $400 used. Not much more than a lot of practice amps new.
