Yes....OG is right.
The 150 ohms thing of the Behringer is actually "150 ohms and upwards", as the output is not a shunt-loaded type, unlike for example microphones, where the output is actually shunted by a resistive value (of the v/coil or trafo) at the specified impedance. The Behringer spec means that it can take a maximum loading of 150 ohms at its o/p terminals, below which the signal will suffer. So any upward value will be a good thing. This is a standard nature of any of the electronically balanced/unbalanced outputs, and the specified imedance is nothing more than a series resistor at the o/p, to prevent the device output stage from getting fried. So 15335A should be the choice.

The e-bay link provided by AB (Altec Best) has one seller with 3 nos. of 15335As available for sale.
