To be able to hear the difference, at the very least, the music being played should contain those low frequencies. It's pretty safe to say that most (not all) music doesn't go much lower than about 40 Hz. In a hearing test, I found that I start "hearing" bass at around 36 Hz. Empirical evidence supports it: I feel no lack of bass on tower speakers that go to 30 Hz and even 35 Hz, but I did sense the bass was lacking on towers that go down to 38 Hz, and wound up buying a sub for them that goes to 31 Hz - and it made a world of a difference. So, to answer for your specific situation, between 28 Hz and 32 Hz, if you're like me - you probably won't hear it. But if the 4 Hz in question were between 36 Hz and 40 Hz, or 40 and 44 - you'd probably hear it.
Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers?
I have just upgraded from a Totem Hawk speaker to a Forest Signature speaker. The Hawk's specs are 32Hz - 21kHz. They have a 5.5 " long throw driver.
The Forests specs are 28Hz - 22kHz with a 6.5" woofer. The Forests are physically bigger too.
I can hear the treble more clearly and more detail with the Forests but no more bass than with the Hawks. Should I be able to hear more bass with the Forests or is the difference in specs inaudible?
