You're close. Very close.

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.
