If your cable tv is hooked up to the system in any way check for a ground loop. Turning the cable off is not enough to check. You have to disconnect it from the system.
The new speakers may just be more seseptable to the hum and not necessaraly the cause. I have to Rel Stentors 2's. Although they are the same model one is about three years older then then the other. When I got the second one it humed like crazy but the first one didnt. To make a very long story short it just turned out to be a ground loop from my cable tv that never affected the rest of the system.

Good Luck. I completely understand your frustation and I wish there was more I could tell you.
