It might be possible to completely eliminate it with really heavy duty wire, but this is about as thick a wire as I want to have running across the living room.

Just a quick question: Are the speaker wires running parallel to or coiled near any power wiring? The power wires could induce 60Hz AC hum onto the speaker wires.
I found these write-ups about troubleshooting hum problems:

Just a possibility. I hope these help.
