Does high Z refer to high impedance speaker, like a horn speaker?
There are also cone speakers that are high impedance also, such as some of the "Peerless" models, Radiola 100, 101, 102, 103 speakers, and anumber of other makes in that era. There were also a few low impedance types too, but not as quite as common.
You can use a low impedance modern speaker if you put an impedance matching transformer in line. Actual impedance value is not super critical, so you can use an old clock radio speaker and output transformer in a pinch. They just don't look as nice.

:Thank you for the information. Would those Crosley dynacones be considered high impedance as well? With a coil that was energized?

Dynacone speakers are a little different. They have a field magnet. I have one with a field and voice coil wired in series. It needs to be powered directly from plate of an output tube. Mostly used with 71A output tubes.
John suggested Radiola 100 series or Peerless speaker. Quite a few of these around. Another would be Atwater Kent Series E speakers.

:Hi,
:It should be, but none of my references indicate either way, but check the voice coil DC resistance first. If it measures above 100 ohms you should be fine.
