Most portables will only offer 9.5w rms p/c maximum my friend....this seems like a nice unit so maybe get her if she is cheap
the sony fh 909 is 50w p/c rms as a comparison but part of this hobby is just taking the plunge and enjoying what you get
if everyone was like me they would just buy the boxes i have in my collection lol
it is true though only good quality sound matters to me but it's taken years of research buying/selling to achieve what i have now buddy
