Answer:	In my opinion no. They size is very convenient and probably enough sound for one dough out but not two and stands. You need to research the Ion Explorer Outback.

Also battery life on the express has been 4+ hours in my experience at a max volume where the Explorer 40+hours. All in all the express might leave you wishing you had dropped the additional dime for the bigger unit. The m happy with both. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with the express. I use it when working on the yard etc. and great sound but for what your asking the Explorer outback would be my choice.
Question:	What's the size
Answer:	About the size of a tosaster
