Good mini amplifier to use with iPod & hook up existing speakers?

Looking for a way to set up an iPod-based “stereo” by just hooking up an iPod to a small amp so I can use speakers already owned. Something with a built-in iPod dock would be a plus, as would some sort of remote control.

Part of the goal is to keep the size factor down, trying to eliminate my big bulky receiver/amp component setup. Also a possibility of wanting to hook up a TV/DVD player at some point in time.
