MITCHb, I can inform you that after your thread I give a check to my Pass Aleph (class A single ended amp). Turned it on, and noted exactly what you described. I have both speakers the classic background hiss + a very slight bzzz from right speaker.
The fact that I catch it just after your thread means that it is really very low in intensity.
If this is the case, do not compromise with sound quality and just keep it as it is.
Cheers
