I don't have Winds, but with the Totem Hawks, I found that Bryston equipment didn't bring out the best. The sound was a little on the grating side, whether it be vinyl or CD. Mind you, I had a 3BST at the time. That being said, I did hear the Winds at the Montreal audio show, and they were using big Bryston power amps, and it sounded good - but that was in an extremely dampened room.
Amps that I've heard that sound good and full of life with Totem speakers include Simaudio and Plinius.
If you email Totem directly, they'll recommend their preferred amps with the Wind. That should steer you a bit more honestly than a salesman would.
