I'm a VTL ST150 user (disclaimer: I'm also a VTL dealer) and I can only have high praise for it. You should notice if the power is not enough, especially on how it control the low frequency. I've tried briefly the Triode option but I've preferred the Tetrode mode that, at least in my system, offer the best performance. I've also used the Nordost Frey as a complete cable loom (now I'm using TYR, and BTW, I'm a Nordost dealer too)and IMHO they matches very well.
I think too that VTL should have another stereo amp in between the ST150 and MB 185.
