It's hard to believe that RF may be the cause of this but still possible. Even though the horns are plastic it is possible that they have some shielding around the amp. It also possible that there is a cap or resistor difference in the amplifiers that could make one react to a RF frequency while the other works fine. If a ceiling speaker and horn have both the audio and power connected in parallel and it only effects the speaker then that eliminates many components. Have you tried to shield the ceiling speaker amp?

If I understand correctly the noise affects all the ceiling speakers not just one. The only practical way to shield these speakers is to install them in a back can connected to a proper ground. If it were me and it came down to that I would rather rip it all out and do it the right way. Self powered speakers all over the place with power and line level audio wiring (especially home run from each speaker) is not the way to go. You're only asking for trouble.

Suga Ray Jay,
Just wanted to know if you tracked down the source of the problem and corrected it ?
Thanks,

Have not found the problem yet. This issue is more or less on the back burner now. I am looking into replacing the ceiling speakers though.

I'm pulling my hair out with a somewhat similar problem... all my ceiling speakers have a low hum on them while they are idle, but none of the horns (using same power supplies) have any hum on them. I'm stumped.
