Matching Tubes


When matching tubes (where you need 2 or more tubes per channel)  - is it OK that the Left and Right channel tubes are off as long as the pairs on the given channel are exactly the same ?

Had a mix up with TubeDepot...they shipped a matching pair and then another matching pair..... but the two pairs are off.... one set is 46 and another pair is 54....
these are KT150 tubes

thank you !

... if amp calls for 65mV and I get the tubes perfect right on 65....then why is everyone making so much stink about making sure all tubes are matched ??
Not all amplifiers allow adjusting the bias individually for each tube.
