"The sonic benefits of using a "balanced drive" amplifier (with or without a "fully balanced" system) are: Less crosstalk between channels for better channel separation, a doubling of the slew rate and voltage swing power for faster transients and better dynamics, and lower distortion for cleaner sound."

Balanced drive through a center tapped output transformer should provide better isolation of back EMF interaction between channels, however it doesn't provide double the slew rate or voltage swing. To get this, you need a differential output stage with 2 active devices.
