Vacuum tube amplifier speakers tend to have a higher peak output, but a lower dynamic range. i.e poorer sound quality but louder.
They tend to be used with bands etc.
The vacuum refers to the valve and not the speakers themselves. The speakers will be a normal magnet type
im not sure but i think its just the wiring
All speakers have magnets. Vacuum tubes are found in amplifiers (mostly older technology). The amplifier is the device that provides the power to drive the speakers. The speakers are just paper or plastic cones with a copper wound coil that vibrates within a magnet.
As far as I know, all speakers have magnets. There are amplifiers that still use tubes, (valves), which some bands still swear by. Newer amps. have solid state technology..Bands like them for good volume, distortion works better, low end sounds better, and the high end is not too ‘sharp’. Those audiophiles with a good ear can tell the difference between a solid state and ‘tube’ sound from an amp. However, newer technology is closing the gap.
