Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: "they tend to force a pretty high plate voltage onto your driver stage." ?

Yes, you can certainly do that. It is a bit inelegant to dump a plate loading resistor, only to put it back in the form of a power supply dropping resistor (just my opinion of course). Interstage transformers also limit your choices of driver tubes to those with low plate impedance.

I'm not really a fan of interstage transformers unless they are absolutely necessary, so I'm a bit biased.
