You're welcome to your speculation. I, on the other hand, tend to rely on ARC's own description of their output stage circuitry.
"Inside, however, you will find a new motherboard architecture that incorporates a JFET input stage similar to that used in the VTM200, followed by a cathode-follower / output driver stage using two 6H30 twin triodes."
I don't think anything I said contradicts their description. A cathode-follower IS the output driver stage. I'm not sure what the disconnect is here as they say nothing about the tube providing gain. My educated 'speculation' is that it is a pretty common cathode follower with unity gain, or less.
But in any case, the LS25 MKII and LS16 MKII were nice but not quite to my taste. I like a more "tubey" sound in my tube linestage.
