Every powered loudspeaker I've ever seen has had RFI, especially to 
VHF. It's a combination of lousy shielding, bad circuit layout, and 
pin 1 problems. You can fix the pin 1 problems with ferrites. The 
rest of it is the sort of science project you've already 
experienced.

See my RFI tutorial for specific suggestions about how to go after 
all of this stuff, including filters for the telco line.

There's an ad in the new QST for RFI-proofed computer speakers. West 
Mountain, I think.
