Just do it, I have had mine for 2 years, I take it in a small bag with my pod to private parties. I did use it a few times at the coffee house we dance at once a month, but it was a bit underpowered for the 900 sq. ft. room. About 20 - 4 seat tables. While the base came thru well enough to keep time, the complexities of the subtler music was lost. I then bought 2 Audio Engine speakers (they were designed by Apple renegades for pod use) but much more high powered than the Bose. That was better...but not good due to the pod itself not cranking enopugh wattage into those kick ass speakers. Final solution, notebook computer pluged into wall attached to 2 Audio Engine speakers. One speaker is powered, the other is a slave to it without power, and a really long speaker cable for good seperation. These speakers are about the size of a cookie jar each, but heavy for their size! The only way this setup could be better...wireless!!! To sum it up, get the Bose if you do a lot of bellygrams, use the Audio Engine for bigger gigs that do not have a sound system you can use. My place uses sirius radio, so I have this traveling circus set up once a month. Rug...2 poles with 4 small spotlights and the sound system. My troupe has been doing this for 4 years now and it's been worth all the trouble. It feels like a real performance instead of "dancing by the deli case"
