HMMM Speakers HELP

I'm at my wits end.  My speakers are emitting a 60Hz ground hum with nothing connected to them.  You read that right.  They are not hooked up to any amplification and the speakers are passive.  I can hear humming from the two midrange drivers in each of the speakers.  The speakers are an open baffle design from Audio Artistry.  The only thing I can think that would cause this is a high EMF field.  Does anybody have thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks

Are there electronics/tv nearby?

 Does the hum change when and if you move them to a different room?

There is no TV in the room.  Electronic components are located to the side of the room, and I run long interconnect cables to an amplifier that's located between the speakers.  Also I disconnected all electronics in the room with no effect.  Still humming.   The speakers hum in different locations and in different rooms.
