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?

Hi traceyc.  If the recording engineer didn't give it to you, you won't hear anything. Only organs (pipe) are going to give you much down that low. One octave below 32 Hz would be 16 Hz; so musically a 28 Hz note would be in the "La - Ti" range on the scale downhill from the 32 Hz note (being the "Do" - of the do-re-mi-so-la-ti-do scale). A subwoofer will help. They are easy to build and the boxes are simple. Check out the DIY sites.
