    First: I suggest to not use Bluetooth for DJing. The reason is that you'll have latency due to signal processing. This almost excludes Bluetooth speakers at all because even if they have a wired Aux input the signal is often put through the circuits and software of the speaker which results in same latency even in wired use.

    They suggest Minirig speakers in that video. Haven't had one of these myself yet but considering getting one or two of them myself. If used wired they should have no delay contain a battery and can be setup as stereo pair if desired. Additional they have a subwoofer to connect - also battery powered.

    I can also recommend Minirig+Sub. I had one 2 years ago. Really great sound and with a sub it's really suitable for parties in small rooms up to 40 square meters.

    I would prefer the cable connection for mixing. Not exactly cheap but top quality and no inflated bass sound like with many party Bluetooth speakers.

    If you want to use it outdoors and need more sound pressure, I would recommend smaller 8" active PA speakers.
