Looking for a good deal on a Yamaha DSP-V3900, some speakers and a Multi-region DVD

Hello - I love this forum and use it all the time. I'm about to drop some serious coin and realized I should try and support the forum and spend my money with those who are involved.

See my post below, I'm pretty settled on the amp, deciding what speakers (need to be small, or at least the satellites do) and am not particularly bothered about the DVD player... its for playing DVD's from the states that my mom sends my kids.

Anyone who can point me to a great deal - please do, particularly if they are an AVForum's supporter.

See the post below which details my conundrum on speakers:

Now mate,
The best price ive seen for the 3900 is Exceptional AV at £1149. Im not sure if they have it in stock. Creative Audio have it for £1299. It is quite a new amp so prices will come down later in the year. Hope this helps.

To be honest though if you looking at a small sat/sub package id look at the yamaha rx-v1900 you can get it for around £800 its not much different to the 3900 and would power the speakers your looking at much better. The extra power of the 3900 would be better with floor standers.

Unless of course you want the GUI and internet radio / Networking and 2 HDMI outs.

Try PNR AudioVision @ Tottenham Court Road (0845 634 0310), they quoted me £1100, I think it was about a month ago.

Pearfish is absolutely correct, go for the RX-V1900 or even a lower model if you're only using satellite speakers.
