Can a bad tube ruin an amp?


I wonder if a bad power tube (6550C) can ruin a power amp? I use a Sonic Frontier power 3 (about 6 month old) and I notice that one of the 6550C is very difficult to be biased. And the next thing I know it smokes and died.

Jab, Yes I do own these pairs and I sent one of them to the manufactory to be repair. I hope I can learn to repair it myself next time around (if it is only the resistor)- I am quite ok with solder. Thanks
