I have a Sony Wega XBR 36" with sony amp and Bose speaker system. Works great in my small 13x13 apartment in NYC. I have had it for about 5 years now and I love it.
I beg to differ from sailor420s position that high quality stuff doesn't get sold in large chains. My whole system came from a chain store because they had the cheapest prices. I spent 2 months pricing everything out from everywhere. You want something that is going to last at least 5 years because well if you like home theater you will probably want to upgrade at some point in time. (I want to upgrade to DLP projector or flat plasma with 7.1 in the next 3 years)
Since this is your first foray into a home theater setup, don't worry too much about all the specs. Meaning don't get caught up in the analysis paralysis about which does this and that and which has the highest watts per channel. Obviously, the lower the THD that better sound you will get. You will almost never turn the thing up too loud because well, it's too loud.
As with all my advice for any type of technology, set your budget and see what your budget will bear, and buy the top of what you can.
good luck!
