All excellent points-- no argument from me!
As far as running a driver stage into a speaker-- that would depend on how much power the driver stage in question-- has. If it's enough to drive your speaker, then an output transformer will convert what is primarily voltage swing into what is primarily current drive.
The answer to this question is simple: if a given amp stage has enough power to run a speaker, then why not do so-- why add more stages on to it??
If it doesn't have the power you're looking for, then you can add-on a higher power stage. That becomes one too many stages for an ideal amp, and is why we design 2-stage amps.
I didn't answer because I knew it would be blasted all out of context, and I didn't have time for a Dog/Cat fight over nothing at all!
