Just be careful when dealing with dealers...I'm sure most of them are very honest people but at the end of the day they need to sell. If you ask speaker dealer (who doesn't carry amps) what amp to use, you might get honest recommendation as to which way to go. You ask an amp dealer, if the amp they have are good enough for your speakers, 99% of time you'll get "yes" answer...BTW, I've never heard Winds speakers, but heard great things about them, and yes, that they need a lot of power...are they more on a warm side or cold? That should determine which amp to buy. If they're fairly cold, I'm sure McIntosh, Pass Labs 150, and host of others might work, if they're a bit too warm, Simaudio Moon Evolution i-7, certain Musical Fidelity and others might work too...
