Re: Help on buying my first Home Theatre
If you can find this one over there, it will be a good one. It appears to have everything you'll need.

I guess to get the speakers tall, you could put them on stands.
And yes, these speakers should work with any receiver, but not all HTIB speakers will work with
any receiver.
Click on this link, then click on "See Rear View", and see the inputs:

4 HDMI inputs, 2 sets component inputs, and several analog inputs. It also has 7.1 multi-channel inputs. 2 Optical and 2 digital coax inputs tops it off.
Onkyo makes good stuff, and get good bang for the buck.

Re: Help on buying my first Home Theatre
I know nothing about Australia. Sorry.
If you can't find anything good, locally, online may be your only option. Here in the US, I recently bought an Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver from Amazon.com, with free shipping. A lot of online sites will give free shipping when spending that much money.
As far as stands, it depends on what speakers you get, and how they attach to stands (on the bottom, screw to the back, or stands clamp to sides of speakers).
If you like the Onkyo HTIB I listed, you can contact Onkyo (through their site), and ask them what dealers are near you.
Good luck!

You should just buy a good receiver and then get speakers (not a HTIB).
PS. you can't buy a Home Theatre. You can build a home theater or you can buy home theater equipment for your living room, but you can't buy a home theater.
