Threaded Drivers?

What you need is a Selenium ADM 25-25.
SELENIUM - ADM25-25 - Horn Adaptor

I think they're available from a number of different suppliers.... (Parts Express, etc)....should do the job.
Cheers,

Selenium

The P.audio is a little nicer and a couple more bucks...

Thanks for that link to P Audio Old Guy....I'll get some of those for my K55's....I don't really like the Selenium ones, as they are a plastic material (but you have to use what you have available) & have been searching for some better aluminium ones.

The Selenium ones I have are aluminum, and they look identical to the ones in the pics.

I think the Selenium female threaded one is plastic, it's a POS

Suspect that is where the confusion is. AFAIK the male is metal

For some reason in the US it seems you can only get the PC-35
Horn Lens Adapters - all - LoudspeakersPlus
But hey, it's only a ten spot.

I concur one is and one is not, forget which is which though.

The ones I bought to mate K-55 w/511b were plastic if that helps. Had to drill (2) mounting holes, no big deal.

The metal ones, may not even have been aluminum. I'd thought potmetal when I first unpacked them.

That would be the female threaded one

You will pay a 5 spot or so more for the Paudio but it's metal and has JBL 3 bolt and Altec 2 bolt patterns

It is aluminum if this week's spec sheet is accurate

For me a no brainer, to heck with the plastic
Just looked at the male it's aluminum also

finally found the selenium pdf

Selenium is fond of "injection molded aluminum" they use it a lot

I don't think the selenium is as sturdy...my opinion
