At this point all I can suggest in addition to what you are planning to do is to reiterate the suggestion of seeing if the hum is present with nothing connected to the amp’s inputs, if you haven’t already done so. Or better yet, with shorting plugs connected to its inputs.Al,
I was thinking the same thing. That eliminates everything ahead of the amp. I would probably go so far as to unplugging all other associated equipment from the AC mains wall outlet.
What about the sensitivity of the speakers Michael is using. Not sure which model he has. One review for Horning speakers, I quickly read over, said the sensitivity was rated at 100db.
And is there any way the speaker cables could be causing the hum? Capacitance? Inductance? I have read where some speaker cable designs can cause problems for a power amp.
