Yes, and it growls and rumbles very nicely. I have an MKS-50 which is the rack
version of the Juno.

I have a book on synthesizers somewhere around here which is a compilation of
articles from Keyboard. On chapter is called "The Most Dangerous Synth in the
World" and is about Keith Emerson's Moog. The extended frequency range is
explained to have resulted in the enormous sound he got. The author quotes
technicians who had to deal with blown tweeters and subs on a regular basis.
I'd have to really agree with Dan. If you want it to sound big the synth should
not roll off frequencies "beyond hearing limits". Although our eyes can't
directly see colors in the fluorescent range studies have proven that those
colors provide emphasis. (Flower blooms are a primary example.) This effect is
because of the roll-off of response at the extreme ranges... the analog sensors
of the body do not have brick-wall filters for perception.
