Hands on with Philips amBX System

Topic:

The first time I heard about Philips’ amBX system it was a large home theater product that would use your home lighting, heat and AC unit to match your environment to that of the film.

The amBX system will be available in a few different kits, that retail at different price points. The biggest kit will go for about $500 and includes four amBX speakers, four fans, and a rumble.
