The orginal speakers are high impedance (2000 ohm?) and connect directly in the plate circuit of the output tube. The sound quality from these speakers is heavy on the midrange like an old acoustic Victrola. You can use a modern 8 ohm speaker though by using an output transformer: we used a 70 volt line transformer and it worked fine.
