You're good. A speaker is a speaker. Like anything, some are better than others.

The speaker wire does not carry the PCM signal, the HDMI cable carry it to the receiver, which then send amplification to the speakers, so, there you go. In the home theater forum, you might be able to use the search eature if you are seeking a more detailed explanation. I hope the jump to hi-def audio is as good to you as it was to me.
