Electricity and radio waves are strange beasts and any of the wiring in your home theater could be acting as an aerial. If you're now at peace with the popping, and your sound is good, I'd leave it be. Otherwise, you might try using shielded speaker cables. These come in all sorts of gauges and prices but even the cheaper cable can improve sound quality and may eliminate the pop.
