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?

Both have small woofers so the bass around 30hz is mostly coming from the ports.  In my experience, larger woofers are capable of higher quality bass at lower frequencies than smaller woofers.  The larger woofers will probably go lower before the bulk of the output transitions to the lower quality bass coming from the port.
