As Robert said, it should be no problem. You CAN'T use your current sub, since real HT receivers don't have passive sub outputs. You have to get a powered sub. Plus, you most likely have to set the sub crossover (on thhe receiver) very high, since HTiB speakers typically have no low end at all.

In the end, you'll want to replace the speakers, which is the downside of HTiBs.
