Regular guitar amp will amplify the sound of your acoustic guitar, but acoustic guitar needs hi-fi treatment, and it won't get it from electric guitar amps and speakers. If you want full range of sounds that acoustic instrument can produce, you need a full range PA. If you really want to amplify your acoustics you should use quality PA boxes and a small mixer, that will work nicely, and it has multiple purposes. However, I wouldn't buy any of that for the bedroom, you buy amplifiers so you can translate the sound to bigger space, to be heard by more people or to cover more area. Room is small.

electric guitar amp has limited bandwidth range, so does the guitar amp speaker. You cannot use EQ pedal to make it play something it wasn't designed for. The acoustic guitar will work with electric guitar amp, but the sound will be limited. Similar to what you would get as you would plug a microphone into guitar amp and start singing/talking.

I'm also recommending mixer + PA speakers instead of acoustic amp. But generally I don't think you need any of that for bedroom playing - amps you have will do a good job for the purpose..

Well, I do not agree here, I have an AER 60 as a jazz-amp, although its really made for acoustics. (check Tommy Emmanuel, he has the same one...) It sounds awesome to both acoustics and jazz guitars, are incredible small and the line-out is fantastic to route for recording or a P.A -system.

Yeah, I agree, solid state amps (besides having odd harmonics), are too "perfect" sounding.
