As my smallest PA solution for small churches or background piano music in smaller rooms, I have replaced the Bose Soundlink Air (virtually identical to Sounddock portable) with the even better sounding Klipsch KMC-3.

http://www.klipsch.com/kmc-3-wireless-music-system

It weighs 3.6 kg (about 8 pounds) and is small enough for a large backpack. It gets as loud as the Sounddock portable, but has a more open mid-range sound and better, deeper, cleaner bass. Astounding big sound! Klipsch states a total of 65 Watts RMS, and that's certainly at least what it sounds like.

BTW, this is a great website for comparing various small consumer speakers like the Klipsch, the speakers were recorded with a high-quality recorder, and you can switch between the speakers:

Not sure, I' m originally a Roland fan, but I heard bad things about the sound quality of their speakers. Anyway, a single CM 30 already has the double weight, half the wattage and is mono only.

I Only use the CM30 to augment my KB in a tiny gig situation to boost the onboard speakers, I can pick it up with my Pinky,.....it's built quality for the road and don't let the numbers fool you it does an outstanding job. keys

This looks like an excellent choice for my PSR-S970 performing in small venues. I can leave the 26lb speakers in the car.

If you even combine it with the on-board speakers of your S970, it will be perfect for a small venue.
