I don't think so. The transformer does not have a grounded center tap on the primary, which means the only audio circuit path from one amp's output is through the other amp's output. When one amp is sourcing current, the other is sinking, and vice versa. Therefore, the output caps ARE in series, and their effective capacitance is halved.
