Perhaps because the speaker wires were acting as a counterpoise, and actually increasing the conducted emissions on the power leads. Did you try a common mode filter on the power leads when the speaker leads were connected?

Actually, it is very surprising, at least to me, because when we changed the 
nature of the speaker loads, the conducted emissions on the AC mains increased.
