I'm a huge David Belles fan. I have stated before that this brand is one of the most underrated and unknown of any of the high-end companies.
I have owned the 150, 150A, 150A HotRod, and a 150 A Reference. I am currently running a 150A on my Maggies and it sounds superb. I could use a little more current, so I am actively seeking a 350A Reference, (if anyone has one or knows of one, please let me know).
All the amps have the same sonic signature. Very open with a wide, deep soundstage. Excellent bass control and smooth throughout. A little on the yin, (warm and dark) side of the fence, but that's my preference.
If it was me, I would pay the little extra and find a 150A HotRod or even a 150A. They are worth the slight extra money over the 150. In fact, IMHO, the 150A HotRod is one of the finest amps I have ever owned and I have owned hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of amps.
