it wouldn't be much of work I suspect.. Steve would just put two little input transformer each in front of a pair of channel, and he would do a minor rewiring of the inputs and the outputs...
I believe the advantages of the balanced operation would be: i) common mode rejection of ripple/noise from the power supply ii) zero current draw from the power supply iii) cancellation of even order distortion (a questionable advantage, actually) at the output iv) better control of the speakers (some say).
But the bottom line is that you really need to ask Steve/Kris
Mscott58, are you saying that the chario are better than the vandersteen? In that case I must have underestimated those little things :)
