The H bridge seems a interesting design, one point , the amp is on frequency , F in = F out ? in which case , solves the problems linked to data ... Composite driver IC's are available for the H configuration, Have you looked at these ? ?, would seem to simplify construction , to a single out put transformer , whilst producing less harmonic power ... ?
