A magnetic field is created when current (moving electrons) travels though a coil. That magnetic field is what interacts with the large magnet of the speaker and makes the diaphragm move. Electromotive force is what pushes the electrons, not the diaphragm. In reality electromotive force is not a force, units are volts. Does that surprise you?
Current is a calculated quantity, it's a scalar, so has no direction. The only thing that's moving is the electrons, one millionth of an inch at a time.

So many wrongs it's silly to go further. To anyone else, there are many educational videos on the work of Maxwell and Faraday that are worth consulting. My main point was to refute the notion that the "electron" on its way back to the amplifier is per se a misconception.
