Receiver Amp and Cat5 Network Cable?

Good morning all!

It's my first post here, but I have a quick question.

I have an inexpensive Receiver that I am basically using as an Amplifier for my Computer. I also have some Bookshelf Klipsh Speakers hooked up to it. I am using a very short run (4 feet) of Cat5 Network Cable as Speaker Wire on each Speaker.

My Question is:

Are there "Any" issues with ruining the Amplifier due to Impedance possibilities?

For those that don't know what a Cat5 Cable consists of, it's 4 pairs of insulated twisted copper wires in a single jacket. I just used a single pair (2 wires) for the speaker wire set up.

Thanks for your Professional Opinions
