Ruud, All,
 
Twin coils, and this probably applies more as the processed power increases,
certainly *do* need an RF ground to stabilize the centerpoint of two identical
and oppositely driven 1/4 wave resonators.  The exception is the single 1/2
wave coil driven by a spiral or solenoid primary in the exact center.
 
Ed Wingate and I have both built large laboratory twin coil systems with
point-to-point discharge lengths of some 16 feet and 11 feet respectively and
have discovered that they do not function without the center ground reference. 
Operating a large twin setup to work in optimum fashion using a ground without
its ground can result in serious insulation system damage in the area between
the primary coils and HV resonators.
