Speakers, especially amplified speakers are prone to interference. The speaker amp is basically a broadband amplifier set for audio frequencies. The speaker wire is supposed to carry the input signal to be amplified, but is often poorly shielded. This means that the wire also makes a decent antenna. The amplifier in the speakers amplifies the undesired signal as well as the desired one.
