I am getting radio through my computer speakers (Swan M10) and it is driving me absolutely crazy.

I have already tried adding Radio Shack ferrite chokes (four total) to both the input and output RCA's, I tried moving them to a different part of the room (which got rid of the buzz but not the radio), it's not a ground loop, and they are plugged directly into a Monster HTS 3500 Mk II which is plugged into a 2200VA APC Smart UPS.

What else can I possibly do to get rid of this radio? I am using shielded RCA's to get from my computer to the amp (on the subwoofer), but the cable that is used on the swans is non-replaceable (attached to the speaker).

Should I try recabling them (would be a pain in the neck) or is there anything else I can try first?

I get no noise whatsoever through my headphone rig, which is about 6 inches away from the speakers, and has easily four times the amount of cables and wiring (but it is high quality wire).
 
The speakers in the room where the old pc is used to do pick up radio station(some polka one). it turned out to be the surge protector that was causing the problem, plug them into a different outlet on your power strip(surge protector) and if it doesnt fix it try the wall.
