Piano Bar

It’s a complete system with a DVD drive, surround processing, and amplification. Those features are built into what Polk describes as a DVD-processor console.

The piano-key controls atop the console are one of the 360’s most endearing traits. Power, volume, source select, and eject get fat buttons like the white keys on a piano. Skinnier transport controls fit between the fat buttons like the black keys on a piano. The curved front panel includes a readable blue fluorescent display.

Eight Drivers, Four Pairs
The speaker itself has a gloss-black plastic enclosure that contains eight 2.5-inch drivers. They are arranged in four pairs, including two pairs at left, an 18-inch gap in the middle, and two pairs at right. The two inside pairs deliver ordinary left and right channels. The two outside pairs deliver, uh, well, let’s call it magic.
