This Sharp solution is going to be somewhere between functional to great in a reasonably small space. I personally like cheap micro systems as a substitute for soundbars and/or cheap dedicated PC speakers. I suspect the capabilities of a system like this Sharp will fall apart when pushed (i.e. - run loud) and placed in an outdoors setting.
Good luck!

This Sharp one looks like cheap junk compared to those Aiwa mini systems.
As long as YOU are happy with your setup then it is fine.
Could it always be better? Sure, but literally less than 1% of people care that much to drop thousands and then be snarky to anyone else that doesn't get the same sound "quality" as their app/algo tells them they are getting.
IMHO, sound bars are situated to be affordable convenient upgrades but literally the lowest quality upgrade one can spring for. I think they are a total waste of money. I'm sure there are some outliers but for the most part, I don't recommend them. A cheap affordable 2.1 setup at a similar price point is not going to look as good or be as convenient to configure, but it should sound better than any entry level sound bar.

It has no line outputs to plug into another system, or a sub out to add a sub.
This is definitely a system for a small space with basically no upgrade path that makes sense.
It definitely is not worth its non-sale price. At a sale price, it seems an ok novelty to enjoy in a 2nd space in the home probably. but if you didn't need a cd player, $80 would by a BT speaker that would eat this thing alive in sound performance.
There's a lot more to amplifier loudness than Watts.
You probably don't need as many Watts as you might think. A smaller amp isn't that much quieter than a big one.
Speaker sensitivity is important. Know what it is when you choose an amp or you might not get the volume change you expected.
It's important to understand that the frequencies in your sound will affect how loud you sound. More Mid = louder.
