If we double the number of components, save for the speaker, then more arrangements are possible.

Balanced / Bridge amplifier

Balanced / Bridge amplifier

   What seems to confuse most is just where ground goes with the Circular/Bridge/Balanced amplifier. The answer is basically wherever we want  to put it. The usual approach is to place at the voltage midpoint of the push-pull cathodes. This is done by stringing two 1k resistors in series between these output points and connecting the center point to the input jack's ground.

   Where to put the ground will be next month's continuation of this circuit analysis. Until then, here is a circuit to ponder.
