how about the Onkyo HT-880 - if you did a search on "HTiB" the older 770 was getting a lot of recommendations

Tough call between the Yamaha and Panasonic. In all cases, the speakers are the weakest links.

In the end, I'd probably go with the Yamaha.

My personal preference among those would be Panasonic. Only because of prior experience with the brand. (and I'd avoid Sony for the same reason) I'd take Pioneer or Onkyo over any of those choices but I'm not sure what they offer in Australia.

If you could find Onkyo, I would give them a shot over the others as well.
