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?

neither speaker is putting out 28 hz or 32 hz at full volume to the listening position, so many other factors at play...properly set up and with good room acoustics the Forest bass will sound better and deeper...
I had a few friends own the Forest Sig and the Hawk, and while terrific speakers, neither puts out meaningful deep bass out into the room at volume...they probably put out 28hz at  - 3 or 6 db, at low volume a foot away from the driver...
