Is it better to mount the transformer on the printed wiring board or
the speaker frame itself? I think the speaker is a better spot b/c
it makes the board cheaper (less holes, less space) but will it
adversely affect accoustics? I don't notice a difference.

If you mount it on the speaker frame the vibration can cause the
transformer to move, causing the windings to cut the lines of force
generated by the speaker's magnet, introducing distortion into the
system.
