Philips SPA2200 Expert Reviews

Philips' SPA9300 2.1-channel speaker system is the least expensive here but you'd never know that just by looking at them. Finished in black and silver, the SPA9300 had the team won over with their stylish looks and design.

If you aren't interested in cranking up the volume, this is a fantastic budget buy that offers clear, crisp sound for music, videos and games.

Philips brought us Ambilight for its TVs. Now it brings us amBX for gaming.

In the premium kit you get everything currently available, barring a set of rear satellite lamps

LED Lights work ; FX generator for music

Loud fans and annoying rumbler ; Stupidly expensive

So don't rush out to buy this first wave of amBX kits, but don't write off the levels of creativity it's possible to achieve with it. Games don't really need anything to reinforce the fourth wall and fake 'real' experiences, but amBX peripherals that ...

Philips is launching an entirely new range of speakers in September and the pick of the bunch is the SPA9300 2.1 (two...

A 2.1 set capable of decent audio, but it's hampered by poor controls

Outstanding bass levels, funky design, crisp and clear tones, ease of setup

No treble adjustment, mid-tones could be improved

A highly recommended set of desktop speakers with outstanding bass levels, the MMS430 is simply great value for money.

Seemingly modelled on Darth Vader's TIE fighter, it's immediately obvious that Philips has not designed these two satellites and a subwoofer specifically for MP3 players, but instead has gone for the games systems market; we detect a strong X Box ...

Great sound, Good value, Strong bass
