A great sound system is one of the essential secrets of a producing
good event, whether you are a teacher or a DJ. Adequate sound isn't
sufficient.
In a big room you need a real system, but there are many situations
where you need to fill a small to medium room, a restaurant, dance
studio, etc.
Those mini-component systems with all the lights and CD-players that
break or won't play home-burned CDs are not really what you want. They
are fragile and don't necessarily put out a lot of power.
I have long relied on a JVC Kaboom system for small to medium rooms. It
has both a microphone and aux (1/8 inch mini-jack) inputs for my
computer or iPod. Plus it has a scratch and drum pad for confusing your
audience when you accidently hit it.
Unfortunately, JVC discontinued the system, so when my Kaboom was
stolen I was in real trouble. I even went to ebay and paid retail for
two used systems so I wouldn't be out of luck if one broke.
Fortunately, JVC just announced that they are re-releasing the Kaboom
RVNB1.
I highly recommend you look into this if you need a portable (but
somewhat heavy) system.
JVC RV-NB1 Specifications
Power: 20W at 4 ohm (full range); 40W at 4 ohm, 60 Hz (woofer);

JVC BRINGS BACK THE NOISE WITH RELAUNCH OF BOOMBOX FAVORITE, THE KABOOM
Back by popular demand, boombox delivers enormous sound, monster bass
and portability
LAS VEGAS, January 6, 2005 – It’s baaaack! Inferior boomboxes have been
given fair warning. The JVC Kaboom, complete with monstrous bass and
enough wattage to crash even the biggest parties, will once again hit
the streets in 2005. And this time, it’s more powerful than ever.

I prefer external computer speakers in a duffel bag to connect to my laptop.
You can get a set with comparable specs but better frequency response (20 -
20000 Hz) for under $100 at your local computer store. Added bonus: you can
put laptop in the duffel bag too.

Yeah, that's a good option for playing in your small living room. As a
professional DJ, I found out long ago that there are no shortcuts to good
equipment. As Tom says, for a big room you need big speakers and top notch
amplifiers, CD changers "and" the laptop.
I also use a BOSE acoustic wave system. These are remarkably good and put
out tremendous high quality volume for such a small unit, still at over $1K
it's hardly something you'd buy for occasional use.
I end up carrying large speakers, stands, amps, changers CD cases and the
laptop. DJing professionally takes more than a small backpack carried
system.
