I am looking for black machine screws for the midwoofer and horn on my 4 pi speakers. Parts Express has them but they are expensive, and require a special tool.

I like to use 10-32 T-Nuts and button head screws. You can probably find them locally, but here's an online source:

I found some similar to what Wayne mentioned at my local Ace Hardware, in different sizes. I also use them to attach iron and tube sockets to amps; I think they look cool. Another approach, if you're not using t-nuts (which you should use!), is to get brass wood screws and darken them.

Theres also McMaster Carr and Small Parts.

No more T-nuts for me; threaded inserts and cap head screws. 1/4-20 for woofer, 10-32 for horn.
