The only thing I can think of is that WiFi IS a radio, it is deliberately sending out electromagnetic waves which CAN get into other parts of your system and cause subtle sonic degradations.
I'm not sure what the WiFi in the SB does when you hook up the wire. If it turns off, that MIGHT be a possible explanation. If the WiFi is still on I'm not sure how much less transmitting it would be doing when not receiving data since most of the data in coming INTO the box not out. Even so there is probably more packet handshaking etc going on when playing music than when sitting there idle. Whether WiFi affects a system seems to be very system specific, some people have a problem with it others do not. If you like it better with the wire, then use the wire!
