Whether the wall is L&P or plasterboard, it will have upright timbers in it - use a small hammer and a 2 inch nail to find them, then mark on the wall where they are. Use polyfilla or similar to patch up the nail holes afterwards.

Sorry. I should have mentioned that the hi-fi needs to be fited in a specific spot where there are no studs.
You will probably have to affix a small sheet of plywood / chipboard from stud to stud and then fix the stereo to that.
IME, PB fixings aren't worth a carrot.
