Hi Dave, 

Having received my vintage shure 520 green bullet with controlled magnetic element from Dennis Gruenling yesterday, which sounds fantastic with my windy city 10 plus,  I have dragged my bassman into the lounge to try the mic through it tomorrow (it's evening here now). I also thought I could break in the speakers as it hasn't had many hours use,  by hooking up my phone and playing music through it . Should I have it on any particular settings to get the best results or is it simply the small movement of the cone that does the job.?

It sounds cool as a hi-fi .

Thanks 

Saul

Hello Saul. It's just about moving the speaker. Play random music, starting off very low in volume, increasing it over it over time.
