A loudspeaker is a device that takes in an analog electric signal and turns it electromagnetically into sound waves, and if it includes its own amplifier that too is analog circuitry. If it has firmware, then it's not just a speaker but a stereo system / radio / player of some sorts / ... that happens to have its own built in speakers. And a crappy one at that if it wants to waste your time with "updates" rather than just playing what you ask it to.
