HI,
some push pull schematics are showing the loudspeaker side of the output transformers grounded and some others not.
What is the difference and why a ground connection on the OT?
In principle the output side is (and should be) isolated by the rest of the circuit from the output transformer itself... or I miss something?

not only safety
To my knowledge, grounding the output transformet, PP or SE, change also the parasitic capacitance.
If the interleawing of winding is made in a certain way, the secondary grounded coils act as electrostatic screen, beaking the parasitic pri/sec capacitance and hence extend the frequency response.

- PP output transformer grounded or not ?
