if another person were to try it with heterogeneous amps. There may be some offset between the audio ground potentials of the amps, or, if the amps are switching types, there will be a large DC offset between the speaker terminals and the power supply ground.
Ground loops are ways for RF noise to enter audio systems, even if they are silent with respect to power frequency hum. Your sonic description fits my experience with RF noise. You've found a way to reduce the effects of this entry path.
